The WCAB dismissed the petition for reconsideration, finding the order was an interim procedural decision and not a final order. Treating the petition as a request for removal, the Board denied it, as the applicant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. The Board concluded that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision ultimately issues.
