CompFox AI Summary
This case involves the applicant's petition for reconsideration regarding a compromise and release order for $60,000, specifically challenging the $7,200 attorney fee withholding. The Board dismissed the petitions because the April 10, 2013 order was not a final order, as it explicitly stated the attorney fee was pending further agreement or court order. The applicant's remedy is to reach an agreement with his former attorney or file a declaration of readiness to proceed. The WCJ retains jurisdiction to resolve the attorney fee dispute, rendering the petitions for reconsideration unnecessary for the applicant to obtain relief.
