CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration because it was not taken from a final order, as it pertained to interlocutory procedural decisions like venue and potential sanctions, not substantive rights. The Board also denied the petition for removal, finding no showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm if removal was not granted. The Administrative Law Judge's report, incorporated by reference, also recommended dismissal of the reconsideration petition because no final order had issued, and further found no basis for changing venue or reducing proposed sanctions. The matter was returned for a hearing on the sanctions notice after the Board's decision.
