JAY MYERS, Applicant
vs.
COUNTY OF ORANGE;
permissibly self-insured, administered by SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT
SERVICES, Defendants
Adjudication Number: ADJ12344251
Santa Ana District Office
OPINION AND DECISION
AFTER RECONSIDERATION
It has come to the attention of the Appeals Board that, while this matter has been pending
on reconsideration, the parties have reached a proposed settlement.
Since the District Office is precluded from acting on a case while it is pending on
reconsideration (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 8, § 10961), in order to permit review by the workers’
compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) of the proposed settlement, we will rescind the
decision from which reconsideration is sought and return this matter to the trial level for the WCJ
to consider the proposed settlement. If the WCJ does not approve the settlement, the WCJ may
issue an order reinstating the original decision and any aggrieved person may timely seek
reconsideration from the reinstated decision. This is not a final decision on the merits of any of
the issues pending on reconsideration.

2
For the foregoing reasons,
IT IS ORDERED as the Decision After Reconsideration of the Workers’ Compensation
Appeals Board that the WCJ’s decision of June 4, 2025 is RESCINDED and this matter is
RETURNED to the trial level for further proceedings and decision by the WCJ.
