DENNIS BATES vs. SEROLOGICALS CORPORATION, UNITED STATES FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed a petition for reconsideration. The petition was filed against an order granting reconsideration, which is considered an interlocutory procedural order, not a final decision. California Labor Code Section 5900 requires reconsideration petitions to follow a final order. Therefore, the Board dismissed the petition as it was improperly filed.
