CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration because the WCJ's Minute Order taking the case off calendar was an interlocutory procedural order, not a final determination of substantive rights or liabilities. The WCAB also denied the defendant's petition for removal, finding no evidence of significant prejudice or irreparable harm justifying the extraordinary remedy. The WCJ's action was to ensure compliance with Labor Code section 4062.2 for proper medical evaluation, which aids in developing the record and reducing delays.
