CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's second petition for reconsideration, deeming it successive and without merit as it challenged interlocutory discovery orders, not a final decision. The Board, on its own motion, also issued a notice of intention to impose $1,000 in sanctions against applicant's counsel, Carl A. Feldman. This action was taken for filing a frivolous and bad-faith petition, disregarding prior explanations of final orders. Counsel has 15 days plus mailing time to show good cause why sanctions should not be imposed.
