CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration because it was not a "final" order, as it only addressed an intermediate procedural or evidentiary issue, not substantive rights or liabilities. The Board also denied the petition for removal, an extraordinary remedy, finding no showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, nor that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy. Consequently, both the petition for reconsideration and the petition for removal were dismissed and denied, respectively.
