CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Wells Fargo's petition for reconsideration of an order closing discovery and setting the case for trial. The WCAB found the order was procedural, not a final determination of substantive rights, and therefore not subject to reconsideration. The WCAB also denied Wells Fargo's petition for removal, adopting the WCJ's reasoning. Given the trial date has passed, the WCAB ordered the WCJ to reschedule trial with discovery remaining closed.
