Paul Sahadi — ADJ13899110

Paul Sahadi filed a claim against the City of Long Beach, permissibly self-insured, and a WCJ issued a decision on February 26, 2020. A Petition for Reconsideration was filed challenging that decision. While the matter was pending on reconsideration, the parties reached a proposed settlement. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the WCJ's decision, and returned the matter to the trial level so the WCJ could consider the proposed settlement. The Board expressly noted this was not a final decision on the merits, and that if the settlement is not approved, the WCJ may reinstate the original decision, from which an aggrieved party may again seek reconsideration.
