This case concerns a workers' compensation claim where the WCJ ordered parties to depose an Agreed Medical Examiner (AME) to address apportionment after finding no injury from subsequent employment. The Appeals Board dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration because the order was not a final decision, but granted CIGA's Petition for Removal. The Board rescinded the WCJ's order, finding it improper to force the AME to speculate and stating that discovery orders are not typically subject to reconsideration.
