CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a lien claimant's petition for reconsideration of a workers' compensation decision. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the petition because it was filed from an interlocutory procedural decision, not a final order. Under Labor Code section 5900(a), reconsideration is only permitted for final orders that determine substantive rights or liabilities. Since the WCJ's Notice of Intent to Dismiss Lien was not a final dismissal, there was no appealable order, thus warranting dismissal of the petition.
