Case Name Little v. WCAB
Date 11/16/2007
Note [Unpublished] Substantial evidence supports the Board's finding that the petitioner filed a deficient skeletal petition for reconsideration and that he failed to prove he required erectile dysfunction medication on an industrial basis.
Citation F053519
WCC Citation WCC 32782007 CA
-ooOoo- Jack Little petitions for a writ of review contending the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) erred in concluding he filed a deficient skeletal petition for reconsideration and that he failed to prove he required erectile dysfunction medication on an industrial basis. Little petitioned the WCAB for reconsideration, contending the WCJ failed to note that certain issues had been deferred at the mandatory settlement conference and that substantial evidence supported a finding that he required Viagra on an industrial basis. Little again petitioned the WCAB for reconsideration claiming the WCJ's decision was not supported by the evidence. On May 14, 2007, Little petitioned the WCAB a third time. Although he also refers to off the record comments by the WCJ, Little points to nothing in the record to suggest the WCJ was concerned with, let alone exerted some control over, documents filed with the WCAB.
