CompFox AI Summary
The WCAB dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration of an order compelling the release of records because the order was not a final decision. However, the Board granted the applicant's petition for removal, rescinded the WCJ's order, and returned the matter for further proceedings. This action was taken because the applicant amended her application to withdraw her psyche claim, making the scope of the requested records unclear and potentially overbroad. The WCJ must now clarify the remaining claims and tailor any discovery orders accordingly.
