Summary

Applicant Jose Guadalupe Lopez petitioned for reconsideration of a WCJ's Findings, Award, and Order issued December 15, 2021. The WCAB found the petition untimely because it was filed January 20, 2022, after the jurisdictional deadline of January 10, 2022 (25 days plus weekend extension). Because the 25-day time limit is jurisdictional, the Board lacked authority to consider the petition and dismissed it. The Board added that even if timely, it would have denied the petition on the merits, and admonished applicant's counsel for filing a skeletal petition that could constitute a sanctionable bad faith tactic.
