The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the defendant's petition for reconsideration because the administrative judge's order granting a new PQME panel was an interlocutory procedural decision, not a final determination of substantive rights or liabilities. The WCAB also denied the defendant's supplemental petition for removal, finding no showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm that would justify this extraordinary remedy.
