CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed an applicant's petition for reconsideration because it sought review of a non-final interlocutory order. The order in question merely continued a mandatory settlement conference, which is a procedural step and not a final determination of substantive rights or liabilities. As petitions for reconsideration can only be taken from final orders, the Board dismissed the petition. The Board also advised the applicant to seek removal rather than reconsideration for non-final orders in the future.
