CompFox AI Summary
Defendant sought reconsideration of an earlier order by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) that rescinded a Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) dismissal of a lien. The WCAB dismissed the petition for reconsideration on two grounds. First, it was improperly filed with the Oakland District Office instead of the Appeals Board, although it was transmitted. Second, and more importantly, the Appeals Board determined that the February 21, 2025 order, which rescinded the lien dismissal, was not a 'final' order because it did not determine any substantive right or liability or a threshold issue fundamental to the claim for benefits. Therefore, the petition sought review of a non-final order.
