The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed a petition for reconsideration because it was filed against a non-final, interlocutory order regarding a cancelled lien trial. The WCAB also denied the petition for removal, finding no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. The Board admonished the defendant's attorney for filing a seemingly frivolous petition, noting such tactics can disrupt proceedings and potentially lead to sanctions. The underlying issue was the cancellation of a lien trial to address outstanding L.C. 5710 fees, which the WCJ recommended be reset for trial.
