CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because the WCJ's order was procedural and not a final determination of substantive rights, thus not subject to reconsideration. The Board also denied the applicant's Petition for Removal, finding no evidence of significant prejudice or irreparable harm justifying the extraordinary remedy. The WCJ's order deferred findings on permanent disability and the admissibility of certain medical evidence pending further reports and evaluations.
