Opinion


MARIA MENDOZA, Applicant v. PACIFICA PERSONNEL INC.; MEADOWBROOK INSURANCE, Defendants No. ADJ12704632 California Workers Compensation Decisions Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board State of California August 12, 2021

         San Luis Obispo District Office

         OPINION AND DECISION AFTER RECONSIDERATION

          KATHERINE ZALEWSKI, CHAIR.

         It has come to the attention of the Appeals Board that, while this matter has been pending on reconsideration, the parties have reached a proposed settlement.

         Since the District Office is precluded from acting on a case while it is pending on reconsideration (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 8, former § 10859, now § 10961 (eff Jan. 1, 2020)), in order to permit review by the workers' compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) of the proposed settlement, we will rescind the decision from which reconsideration is sought and return this matter to the trial level for the WCJ to consider the proposed settlement. If the WCJ does not approve the settlement, the WCJ may issue an order reinstating the original decision and any aggrieved person may timely seek reconsideration from the reinstated decision. This is not a final decision on the merits of any of the issues pending on reconsideration.

         For the foregoing reasons,

         IT IS ORDERED as the Decision After Reconsideration of the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board that the WCJ's decision of April 1, 2021 is RESCINDED and this matter is RETURNED to the trial level for further proceedings and decision by the WCJ.

         I CONCUR,

          KATHERINE WILLIAMS DODD. COMMISSIONER, MARGUERITE SWEENEY. COMMISSIONER.
