CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's Petition for Reconsideration because it was filed against an interlocutory procedural order, not a final decision. The applicant sought reconsideration of an order continuing a Mandatory Settlement Conference (MSC), which is not a final order that disposes of substantive rights. The Board also noted that the applicant failed to timely serve medical evidence and attempted to introduce inadmissible evidence. Accordingly, the petition was dismissed, and the WCJ was instructed to schedule a further status conference.
