What the panel ordered
Vacated the grant of reconsideration and dismissed the petition for lack of verification.
Petition for Reconsideration filed by applicant and granted initially, then reconsidered by the Board.
What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The petition for reconsideration was dismissed because it was not verified as required by Labor Code section 5902, and the petitioner failed to cure the defect or provide an explanation within a reasonable time after notice.
From the decision · page 1We previously granted reconsideration in order to allow us time to further study the factual and legal issues in this case. We now issue our Opinion and Decision After Reconsideration. We have considered the allegations of the Petition for Reconsideration and the contents of the report of the workers' compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) with respect thereto. Based on our review of the record and for the reasons stated below, we will vacate our grant of reconsideration and dismiss the petition as unverified.
