CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration and denied the Petition for Removal. The WCAB found that the petition for reconsideration was improperly filed because the WCJ's prior order addressed an evidentiary issue, not a "final" order determining substantive rights or liabilities. Furthermore, the WCAB denied removal, finding no demonstration of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm if removal were not granted, nor that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy.
