CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board dismissed a petition for reconsideration because the underlying decision 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, finding no showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm necessitating this extraordinary remedy. Reconsideration was deemed an adequate remedy should a final adverse decision eventually issue. Therefore, the Board found the petition to be procedurally improper and declined to grant the requested relief.
