County of Sacramento v. WCAB CA3
Petitioner County of Sacramento (the County) sought a writ of review to annul the decision of respondent Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (the Board) that overturned the finding of its hearing officer, who had concluded that respondent Jonathon Scott McCartney’s skin lesions (“actinic keratosis,” which may or may not be a precursor of skin cancer) could not be causally tied to sun exposure during his employment as a deputy sheriff with the County with a reasonable medical probability. We issued an order directing the writ of review to issue. On our plenary review of the record, we shall annul the Board’s award and remand with directions that it enter a new order denying McCartney’s petition for reconsideration of the hearing officer’s decision.
