CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed Hortencia Mendoza's Petition for Reconsideration because it was filed against an interlocutory order, not a final decision that determined substantive rights. The order for liens to be "paid, adjusted or litigated" was not a final resolution. The Board also denied removal, finding no showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. This ruling emphasizes that reconsideration is only available for final orders disposing of substantive rights and liabilities.
