CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration because the challenged order was procedural and interlocutory, not a final determination of rights or liability. The WCAB also denied the applicant's petition for removal, finding no evidence of significant prejudice or irreparable harm. The case will be returned to the WCJ to determine if the order for a QME panel was served and if a panel was issued, as further development of evidence is needed.
