Summary

Applicant Rosa Cornejo, after settling three consolidated claims against LAUSD via a $40,000 Compromise and Release (less $6,000 attorney fee) on July 25, 2024, dismissed her attorney and sought to set aside the OACR alleging fraud and duress. The WCJ vacated the original OACR, held a trial on March 27 and July 17, 2025, and found no fraud, mistake, or duress induced applicant to sign the settlement. After the Board adopted the WCJ's October 7, 2025 Opinion and denied reconsideration on January 5, 2026, the WCJ reissued the OACR on January 16, 2026, and applicant again petitioned for reconsideration raising the same previously litigated arguments. The Board denied reconsideration, agreeing with the WCJ that applicant failed to establish good cause to set aside the OACR, characterizing her complaints as post-settlement buyer's remorse rather than fraud or duress.
