CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration because she was not a party aggrieved by the Supplemental Findings and Order. The applicant had previously settled her claim with the defendant via a Compromise & Release, agreeing that all liens would be handled by the defendant. The Supplemental Findings and Order only adjudicated the liens, leaving the applicant's separate claim for Subsequent Injuries Benefits Trust Fund (SIBTF) benefits undetermined. Therefore, the applicant's rights and liabilities concerning the defendant were already finalized, and the F&O did not constitute a final order as to her.
