**Rescalvo Vazquez v. Wally's Deli & Grocery Corp.** This case involved a worker, Rescalvo Vazquez, who had a dispute with their employer, Wally's Deli & Grocery Corp., over an employment-related issue. Based on the available information, the case appears to have involved questions about workers' compensation eligibility, specifically regarding hazardous work conditions involving electrical equipment.
