Antonio Morales vs. Mikado Hotels, Inc., First Comp Omaha for Southern Insurance Co.

The applicant sought reconsideration of an order directing a new Qualified Medical Examiner (QME) due to ex parte communications. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the reconsideration petition because the order was not a final decision. The WCAB also denied the petition for removal, finding no evidence of significant prejudice or irreparable harm. Therefore, the applicant's attempt to challenge the QME order was unsuccessful.
