CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration because the underlying WCJ decision was not a "final" order as it only addressed interlocutory procedural or evidentiary issues. The WCAB also denied the petition for removal, finding no evidence of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, and that reconsideration would likely be an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision occurs. The board adopted the WCJ's report for its reasoning. Therefore, the applicant's requests for both reconsideration and removal were rejected.
