CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because the order taking the matter off-calendar was not a final order subject to reconsideration. The WCAB treated the petition as one for removal and denied it, finding no evidence of significant prejudice or irreparable harm justifying removal. The applicant sought to re-litigate permanent disability for his right groin, thigh, and hip injuries, issues previously decided and appealed. The WCAB adopted the WCJ's report, which detailed the extensive history of the claim and noted these issues had already been litigated.
