CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Silvia Borboa's petition for reconsideration because it was not filed from a "final" order, as it only addressed an intermediate procedural or evidentiary issue. The Board also denied Borboa's petition for removal, finding no showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy later. This ruling emphasizes that reconsideration is only available for final substantive decisions. Removal is an extraordinary remedy, granted only to prevent significant harm when reconsideration will be insufficient.
