CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendants' Petition for Reconsideration. The Board ruled that a petition for reconsideration can only be filed after a final order, and the Board's prior order granting reconsideration was interlocutory, not final. Because the petition sought reconsideration of a non-final order, it was procedurally improper and thus dismissed. The Board also noted the defendants' failure to respond to the initial petition for reconsideration.
