Opinion
ALDRICH, J.
INTRODUCTION
David A. Garcia, a police officer employed by petitioner the City of Long Beach (the City), contracted kidney cancer during his employment. A workers’ compensation judge (WCJ) found the cancer arose out of and in the course of Garcia’s employment, and awarded Garcia benefits. Reconsideration of the WCJ’s award was denied. The City sought a writ of review and annulment of the order of the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denying reconsideration of the findings and award of the WCJ. We affirm the WCAB’s order denying reconsideration.
