CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed NMCI Medical Clinic's petition for reconsideration because it was filed in response to a Notice of Intention to Dismiss Lien, not a final order. A Notice of Intention is not a final determination of substantive rights or liabilities and therefore not subject to reconsideration. The Board found that an subsequent "Order Vacating Notice of Intent to Dismiss" was invalid as it was filed outside the permissible timeframe. The matter was returned to the trial level for further proceedings.
