CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because the WCJ's order directing a re-evaluation with a qualified medical examiner and an interpreter was an interlocutory procedural order, not a final determination of substantive rights or liabilities. As such, it was not subject to reconsideration under Labor Code section 5900. The WCAB affirmed the WCJ's report recommending dismissal of the petition.
