CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the petition for reconsideration because it was not filed from a final order, as reconsideration is only permissible from decisions determining substantive rights or liabilities. The WCAB also denied the petition for removal, adopting the Workers' Compensation Judge's report and finding no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm if removal was not granted. The petitioner failed to demonstrate why removal was necessary or that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, both the petition for reconsideration and the petition for removal were dismissed and denied, respectively.
