CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the petition for reconsideration because it was not filed from a "final" order that determined substantive rights or liabilities. The Board also denied the petition for removal, finding no showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. This denial was also based on the WCJ's report, which was adopted and incorporated. The applicant's argument regarding the defendant's compliance with former Labor Code section 4062.2(c) was unpersuasive, as there was no indication of potential agreement on medical evaluators.
