CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because the appealed Minute Order was not a final order, as it only set for trial the issue of proper notice regarding a medical examiner panel. The WCAB also denied the applicant's Petition for Removal, finding no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm that would justify this extraordinary remedy. The applicant sought a third panel of qualified medical examiners, claiming insufficient notice of a second panel. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings.
