Summary

Applicant Priscilla Chew filed a Petition for Reconsideration challenging a WCJ's April 23, 2024 order compelling her to attend a medical evaluation. The Petition was filed on June 21, 2024, more than 25 days after service of the order, and was not transmitted to the Appeals Board until November 1, 2024, after the 60-day statutory period for acting on a petition had lapsed. The Board addressed the administrative irregularity (failure to timely transmit the case file) in the context of the Mayor case and equitable tolling under section 5909, but found tolling unnecessary because the Petition was untimely. The Board further held that the order compelling a medical evaluation was a non-final, interlocutory order not subject to reconsideration, and the dispute had become moot when the parties resolved the attendance issue at a July 10, 2024 mandatory settlement conference. The Petition was dismissed.
