CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration because it was filed from a non-final order, specifically a Notice of Hearing, not a final determination of substantive rights or liabilities. The Board also denied the defendant's request for removal, finding no evidence of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. The Board admonished the defendant's attorney for filing what bordered on a frivolous petition, which improperly interrupted the proceedings. Consequently, the matter proceeded as if no reconsideration or removal had been sought.
