Summary

Applicant David Barajas Rosales filed two cumulative/specific injury claims. After applicant failed to prosecute, defendant petitioned to dismiss, and the WCJ issued a notice of intention to dismiss (NIT) directing written objection to a post office box. Applicant was never served the NIT because his attorney had provided an incorrect street name in the official address record, and the WCJ dismissed both cases on December 15, 2022. The Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the dismissal orders, finding the NIT void ab initio because it required objections be 'received' at an unattended PO box rather than 'filed,' violating WCAB filing rules and due process, and because applicant was never served. The matter was returned to the trial level for a hearing on the petition to dismiss based on a complete evidentiary record.
