OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING PETITIONS FOR RECONSIDERATION AND DECISION AFTER RECONSIDERATION
JOSé H. RAZO, COMMISSIONER
Defendant and lien claimant Dental Trauma Center each seek reconsideration of the May 24, 2021 Findings of Fact and Order issued by the workers’ compensation administrative law judge (WCJ). We have considered the allegations of the Petitions for Reconsideration and the contents of the reports of the workers’ compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) with respect thereto. Based on our review of the record, and based on the recommendation in the WCJ’s June 28, 2021 Report, we will grant reconsideration, rescind the May 24, 2021 Findings of Fact and Order, and return this matter to the WCJ for further proceedings and a new decision on all issues in the first instance. This is not a final decision on the merits of any issues raised in the petitions and any aggrieved party may timely seek reconsideration of the WCJ’s new decision.
For the foregoing reasons,
IT IS ORDERED that reconsideration of the May 24, 2021 Findings of Fact and Order is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED as the Decision After Reconsideration of the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board that the May 24, 2021 Findings of Fact and Order is RESCINDED and that the matter is RETURNED to the trial level for further proceedings and decision by the WCJ.
