Alan Livhits — ADJ7959316

Defendant California Insurance Company, administered by Applied Risk Omaha, filed a petition for reconsideration on June 28, 2019, challenging the WCAB's March 14, 2019 decision that had dismissed an earlier petition for reconsideration as untimely. The original arbitrator's Findings and Order issued October 6, 2018, and defendant's first petition was filed 26 days later (November 1, 2018), one day beyond the 25-day limit. After the Board dismissed that petition, defendant unsuccessfully sought a writ of review, which the Court of Appeal dismissed on June 6, 2019, as untimely. The Board held it lacked jurisdiction to circumvent the Court of Appeal's order, and that even treating the new petition as one for reconsideration, it was filed 103 days after the March 14, 2019 decision and was therefore untimely. The Board dismissed the petition.
