CompFox AI Summary
Applicant petitioned for reconsideration of a Minute Order that stated "WCJ to issue dismissal without prejudice." The Appeals Board dismissed the petition because the applicant was not aggrieved by a final order, as no such order had yet been issued. A petition for reconsideration can only be taken from a final order that determines substantive rights, liabilities, or a fundamental threshold issue. Since the dismissal order itself had not yet been issued, the petition was premature and thus dismissed.
