Summary

Applicant Victor Washington, now self-represented, filed seven documents captioned 'Petition for Reconsideration' purportedly seeking review of decisions allegedly issued on March 13, 2026 and April 1, 2026. The Board found no such final orders existed in the electronic record. The last final order was the WCJ's November 14, 2025 Findings and Award, which found permanent total (100%) disability from a June 26, 2021 industrial injury, and that decision had already survived defendant's reconsideration petition denied March 3, 2026. Because applicant did not file a timely petition within 20 days (plus 5 for service) of the November 14, 2025 decision and because the only arguably aggrieving finding (attorneys' fees) was untimely, the Board dismissed all petitions. The Board also addressed the timeliness of its own action under amended Labor Code section 5909 and noted defendant's pending petition to declare applicant a vexatious litigant.
