CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the petition for reconsideration because the order to attend a medical evaluation was an interlocutory procedural order, not a final order that determines substantive rights. Therefore, it was not subject to reconsideration under Labor Code section 5900. The petition for removal was also denied, as the applicant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. The WCJ's report and recommendation, which supported the denial, were incorporated into the Board's decision.
