CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because it was filed against an interim procedural order, not a final decision. The Board also denied the applicant's Petition for Removal, finding no evidence of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. Removal is an extraordinary remedy that requires a strong showing of potential harm. The WCAB concluded that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision is issued.
