Resendiz Morales, Susana

Applicant Susana Resendiz Morales, acting in pro per, sought reconsideration of a Joint F&O finding she did not sustain new and further disability and dismissing her Petitions to Reopen in three cases against Coast Seafood Company. The WCJ relied on QME Dr. Wayne Anderson, who opined that any worsening of applicant's condition—including alleged depression—was attributable to a subsequent April 2, 2020 injury with a different employer (AMB Labor Services), not the prior Coast Seafood injuries. Applicant argued the WCJ failed to adequately consider her mental health evidence. The Appeals Board denied reconsideration, adopting the WCJ's Report, which noted the petition lacked specific references to the record and that Dr. Anderson's reporting constituted substantial medical evidence. The Board also addressed the timeliness of its decision under amended Labor Code section 5909.
