LATOSHA HARRIS vs. AMI STAFFING, CALIFORNIA GUARANTEE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION For SUPERIOR NATIONAL INSURANCE CO., in liquidation, LIQUID CONTAINER, INC., CENTENNIAL INSURANCE/ATLANTIC MUTUAL

The Appeals Board vacated its prior order granting reconsideration and dismissed the employer's petition because the underlying WCJ's order was not a final, appealable decision. The Board then granted removal, rescinded the WCJ's order, and returned the case to the trial level. This action was taken because the WCJ improperly referred issues not subject to mandatory arbitration under Labor Code § 5275(a) to arbitration.
