CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed applicant's petition for reconsideration of an order that took the matter off calendar for further medical reporting. The WCAB found the order to be procedural and not a final determination of substantive rights, thus ineligible for reconsideration. However, the WCAB granted applicant's petition for removal, rescinded the WCJ's order, and returned the matter for further proceedings. This action was taken because the WCJ's decision was based on inadmissible evidence, and the WCAB cautioned applicant's counsel regarding frivolous filings.
