City of Los Angeles v. WCAB (Deleon)
The City of Los Angeles (City) seeks a writ of review after the Workers Compensation Appeals Board (Board) denied its petition for reconsideration, thereby affirming the Workers Compensation Administrative Law Judges (WCJ) decision finding Respondent, Lucina DeLeon, entitled to death benefits because her husbands death arose out of and in the course of employment. The issue presented is whether decedent Jose B. DeLeons death occurred while he was engaged in an activity required by his employment. Court hold it did not. Court reverse the Boards decision and annul the Boards order. Court also deny Citys request for a stay of enforcement of the Boards order that affirmed the WCJs decision awarding death benefits as it is now moot.
