Petitions for Reconsideration filed by Applicant regarding a 2017 Order Dismissing Case; matter returned to trial level for further proceedings
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.
Petitions for Reconsideration were dismissed as premature because proceedings were underway to consider setting aside the prior Order Dismissing Case.
From the decision · page 1Applicant, in pro per, has filed a Petition for Reconsideration on June 11, 2021 and a Petition for Reconsideration on July 15, 2021 regarding an October 13, 2017 Order Dismissing Case issued by the workers' compensation administrative law judge (WCJ). This matter came on calendar on May 3, 2021 and it was continued to a status conference on July 17, 2021. On that date, it was ordered off calendar due to the pending Petition for Reconsideration. In his report, the WCJ states that proceedings are underway to make a record and give the applicant an opportunity to be heard on the issue of whether the Order Dismissing Case should be set aside. Given that proceedings are underway to consider applicant's request to set aside the prior Order Dismissing Case, we will dismiss the current Petitions for Reconsideration as premature and return this matter to the trial level for the WCJ to set this matter for another status conference and for such further proceedings as the WCJ determines appropriate.1
