CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed a Petition for Reconsideration filed by Victoria Williams. The WCAB determined that the petition was not properly before it because it sought reconsideration of an interlocutory procedural order, not a final order that determines substantive rights. Such pre-trial orders are not subject to reconsideration under Labor Code section 5900. Even if the petition had addressed a final order, it would have been denied on the merits based on the WCJ's report.
