Miguel Bracamontes — ADJ19018827

Applicant Miguel Bracamontes sought reconsideration of a WCJ's July 22, 2025 Order Dismissing Application, which was entered after applicant and counsel failed to appear at a status conference and MSC despite a prior settlement being reached. Applicant contended he was out of the country and would sign the previously agreed C&R upon returning in May. The Board found that the dismissal Order was not based on any admitted evidence—no hearing was held, no testimony taken, and no documents admitted—so it could not evaluate the basis for the Order or applicant's contentions. The Board dismissed the Petition as one seeking reconsideration but directed that, upon return to the trial level, the WCJ may treat the Petition as one to set aside the Order under its continuing jurisdiction and set a hearing to develop the record.
