FELIPE TOLENTINO vs. CONCO CEMENT, CALIFORNIA INSURANCE GUARANTEE ASSOCIATION, XCHANGING INC., FREMONT COMPENSATION

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the lien claimant's petition for reconsideration as premature. The WCAB granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration regarding the temporary disability overpayment issue, deferring it for further proceedings. The Board affirmed the WCJ's findings on injury causation and permanent disability but amended the decision to clarify the overpayment issue. Finally, the WCAB issued a notice of intention to sanction defendant's counsel for attaching and citing unadmitted evidence.

GLORIA M. GONZALEZ vs. LOS ANGELES COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION, Permissibly Self-Insured, Administered By HAZELRIGG RISK MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration of a previous award because it was "skeletal," lacking specific references to the record and legal principles. Furthermore, the applicant's amended petition was filed seven days after the statutory deadline, and supplemental petitions require prior Board approval, which was not obtained. The Board concluded that the amended petition would not be considered, even as a supplemental filing, as it appeared to be an attempt to extend the filing period.

RUBEN SALINAS vs. MAGALY CORPORATION, AMTRUST NORTH AMERICA

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration, affirming that the lien claimant received due process despite the absence of a formal Notice of Intention to Impose Sanctions. The Board found that the lien claimant had multiple opportunities to respond to the defendant's detailed petitions for sanctions and costs, including a hearing and subsequent amended filings. Therefore, the lien claimant had adequate notice and the opportunity to be heard, satisfying due process requirements.

CARY BARNETT vs. THE BOEING COMPANY, INDEMNITY INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA, ACE-USA, BROADSPIRE

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration as untimely and procedurally deficient. The applicant sought to overturn an award, but their petition was filed nearly a year after the original award and almost ten months after a clerical amendment corrected the defendant's insurance carrier. The Board found the petition lacked specificity and failed to demonstrate the applicant was aggrieved by the amendment. Therefore, the petition was dismissed, and sanctions were warned for future "skeletal" filings.

ABENAA APPAUH vs. ARROWHEAD REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER, COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Abenaa Appauh's Petitions for Removal seeking to overturn an order quashing a subpoena duces tecum. The Board adopted the administrative law judge's report, which found the petitions lacked merit and failed to demonstrate significant prejudice or irreparable harm. The judge noted that a petition for reconsideration would be an adequate remedy after a final decision. Additionally, the petitions were deemed defective due to a lack of proper verification.

Alisher Suliemanov vs. Pizza Hut, Pizza Hut, Southern California Pizza Co., Athens Administrators

The case involves a Petition for Reconsideration filed by the defendant after an Order Approving a Compromise and Release (OACR) was executed and later amended by a Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judge (WCJ). The WCJ rescinded the original OACR and issued an amended one within the 15-day period allowed by WCAB Rule 10961(c). Consequently, the Appeals Board determined that no further action was necessary on the Petition for Reconsideration because the disputed order no longer existed. Despite the WCJ preparing a Report and Recommendation, the Appeals Board dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration as moot.
