CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration because the WCJ's order compelling service of medical reports was not a final order. However, construing the petition as a request for removal, the Board granted it, finding a potential untimeliness issue with the lien claimant's lien under Labor Code section 4903.5. The Board rescinded the original order and returned the case to the trial level for a lien conference to determine the existence, filing date, and validity of the lien.
