Summary

Jose Vasquez, in pro per, filed a handwritten Petition for Reconsideration in Spanish that was skeletal, partially cut off in EAMS scanning, and not served on defense counsel. The WCAB criticized the WCJ for recommending dismissal without first attempting corrective measures to rescan the petition under Rule 10205.8, obtain a translation under Rule 10564, and serve defense counsel. After an I&A Officer uploaded a complete rescanned version (which the Board accepted as a substitute) and the Board reviewed a translation of the applicant's contentions, the Board determined the petition was still skeletal and failed to state grounds for reconsideration or cite to the record. The Board further found applicant was not aggrieved and that it would affirm the WCJ's February 16, 2024 Findings, Award and Order on the merits. The petition was dismissed.
