Summary

Applicant Jesus Lizardo, in pro per, sought reconsideration of a July 11, 2019 Findings denying temporary disability and of a September 22, 2020 Stipulations with Request for Award approving a settlement (no TD, 16% PD, future medical). The Board found the petition was untimely as to the July 11, 2019 Findings (filed beyond the jurisdictional 25-day limit). As to the September 22, 2020 Award, the petition could be considered timely because there was no proof of service showing when defendant's attorney served it; however, applicant alleged he was not present at the approval hearing and disputed the circumstances of executing the stipulations. The Board found there was no evidentiary record on the WCJ's inquiry into the adequacy of the Award or on applicant's allegations. The Board vacated its prior grant of reconsideration, dismissed the petition as premature, and directed that on return the WCJ treat the pleading as a petition to set aside and conduct an evidentiary hearing.
