CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration, holding that an order taking a case off calendar is an interlocutory procedural order, not a final order subject to reconsideration. The Board also denied the defendant's Petition for Removal, finding that the WCJ did not abuse discretion by taking the case off calendar to consolidate it with another claim for judicial economy, as the defendant failed to demonstrate irreparable harm or significant prejudice. The defendant's arguments regarding due process and potential future medical-legal costs were found insufficient grounds for removal.
