Summary

Applicant Nashaa Sioco, in pro per, sought reconsideration of an Order Approving Compromise and Release (OACR) issued March 6, 2019, that settled her industrial injury claim for $8,300.00, arguing she remains injured and is entitled to more compensation. The Appeals Board first addressed the late timing of its action under Labor Code section 5909, applying Shipley to find its time to act was tolled because it failed to act within 60 days through no fault of the parties. The Board treated the petition for reconsideration as a petition to set aside the OACR under sections 5803 and 5804, noting the OACR may be reopened for good cause within five years of injury. Because the C&R was approved via a walk-through with no hearing, there was no record (no Minutes of Hearing or Summary of Evidence) for the Board to review. The Board dismissed the petition as premature and returned the matter to the trial level for the WCJ to set a hearing and create a complete record.
