CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because it sought review of an interim procedural order, not a final decision. The WCAB also denied the applicant's Petition for Removal, finding no evidence of significant prejudice or irreparable harm from the administrative law judge's order setting a mandatory settlement conference. The judge's decision to continue the matter and not immediately set it for trial was found to be within his discretion. Ultimately, the applicant's attempt to challenge the scheduling of the settlement conference was unsuccessful.
