 LexisNexis Interview: Associate Chief Judge Ellen Flynn, California Division of Workers' Compensation, by Kenneth B. Peterson (Retired Associate Chief Judge). LexisNexis recently interviewed newly appointed southern region Associate Chief Judge Ellen Flynn on a warm summer day at her Anaheim Workers' Compensation Appeals Board office. Judge Flynn had served as Presiding Judge there for 20 years, in addition to her work as a trial judge for another seven, giving her well over two decades of experience in the California workers' compensation judicial system. She was interviewed by long-time LexisNexis editorial board member, retired Judge Kenneth Peterson, who held the northern California version of Judge Flynn's new position for several years.

self-procured medical marijuana | |
 This panel decision will be added soon to the LexisNexis services. Note: The decision is not yet final as the WCAB remanded the case to the WCJ. It'll be interesting to see how the WCJ rules.
Medical Treatment; Self-Procured Medical Marijuana. WCAB rescinded WCJ's finding that applicant/attorney with 9/16/95 injuries to his low back, right elbow and heart was entitled under Labor Code § 4600 to reimbursement (as opposed to providing or paying supplier) for self-procured medically recommended marijuana in an amount reflected in fee schedule for medications being replaced by medical cannabis or for actual expense of marijuana, when WCAB found that neither parties nor WCJ considered application of Health & Safety Code § 11362.785(d), which states that nothing in medical marijuana program will require a health insurance provider or health care service plan to be liable for reimbursement for medical use of marijuana, and that prior to rendering a decision WCJ must consider application of this provision to applicant's claim for reimbursement.See Cockrell panel decision. |
