CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed a lien claimant's Petition for Reconsideration because it sought review of an interim procedural order, not a final decision, and therefore was not ripe for reconsideration. The Board also denied the claimant's Petition for Removal, finding no showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm that would justify this extraordinary remedy. The original order compelling a lien claimant representative to appear at a status conference was a proper procedural step following the denial of a vague medical information petition. The subsequent representation change did not invalidate the prior order or warrant removal.
