Nelson, Russell

Applicant Russell Nelson, in pro per, sought reconsideration of a June 6, 2023 Order Dismissing Particular Injury Claims that dismissed claims to his teeth, abdomen, digestive system, excretory system, and other internal body parts based on a signed Stipulation. The WCJ issued the Order following off-the-record discussions at a May 31, 2023 MSC without creating an evidentiary record. The Board first addressed the Shipley issue, finding its time to act was tolled because applicant's timely-filed petition was not properly processed by the district office. On the merits, the Board held the Order was not supported by substantial evidence because there was no medical evidence in the record and the WCJ created no record before issuing the Stipulation and Order. The Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the Order, and returned the matter to the WCJ for further proceedings.
