CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a petition for reconsideration and removal that was dismissed and denied, respectively. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) adopted the judge's report, finding the initial decision was not a "final" order as it only addressed an intermediate procedural or evidentiary issue. Consequently, reconsideration was improper because it only applies to final orders. The WCAB also denied removal, finding no showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm, nor that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy.
