ARTHUR METZKE vs. MRW, INC., dba RED BLUFF TIRE; WAYNE PLATNER, CATHY PLATNER, JOYCE PLATNER, KEITH PLATNER, LAURIE PLATNER, individually named and as shareholders of MRW, INC.; UNINSURED EMPLOYERS BENEFITS TRUST FUND

The Appeals Board dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration because it sought review of a non-final, interlocutory procedural order, not a decision determining substantive rights or liabilities. The Board also denied the Petition for Removal, finding no evidence of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm that would justify this extraordinary remedy. The WCJ's report, incorporated by the Board, detailed why the order was not final and why removal was unwarranted. Therefore, the Board affirmed the WCJ's decision by dismissing the reconsideration and denying the removal.
