CAROL MURRAY vs. CENTER FOR COMMUNITY AID AND FAMILY SERVICES, INC., STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

This case is dismissed because the Petition for Reconsideration was filed against a non-final order—the case being taken off calendar due to a withdrawn lien. Additionally, the petition failed to meet the verification requirement under Labor Code section 5902. Even on the merits, the Board would have denied the petition based on the judge's report. Therefore, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the petition.
