CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration and denied removal, finding it was improperly filed. The defendant sought reconsideration of an order changing venue, but the Board admonished their attorney for filing the wrong type of petition for a non-final order. The Board adopted the Administrative Law Judge's report, which recommended dismissal because the venue change order was not a final determination subject to reconsideration and removal was inappropriate. Furthermore, the defendant's objection to the venue change was untimely and lacked good cause.
