CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration because the appealed order denying a change of venue was not a final order, and therefore not subject to reconsideration. The WCAB also denied the defendant's Petition for Removal, finding no significant prejudice or irreparable harm to justify this extraordinary remedy. The Board admonished defense counsel for filing a petition from a clearly non-final order, warning of potential sanctions for abuse of the system. Consequently, the defendant's attempts to alter the venue from Marina Del Rey were unsuccessful.
