CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration because it was filed against an interlocutory procedural order, not a final decision. The order denied a motion to strike a medical evaluator and directed the applicant to proceed with an evaluation, neither of which determined substantive rights or liabilities. Furthermore, the Board denied the applicant's request for removal as an extraordinary remedy, finding no showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. The applicant was advised to address any alleged clerical errors directly with the WCJ, as such errors can be corrected at any time.
