CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because it was improperly filed against a non-final, interlocutory order that did not determine any substantive rights or liabilities. The Board also denied removal, adopting the reasoning of the administrative law judge, as the applicant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. This decision confirms that petitions for reconsideration and removal are reserved for final substantive orders, not procedural rulings. The applicant's filings were therefore invalidly presented.
