CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed Maria Arias's Petition for Reconsideration. The Board found that the petition sought reconsideration of a non-final order, which is not permissible under Labor Code sections 5900(a), 5902, and 5903. A final order must determine a substantive right/liability or a threshold issue, and the WCJ's decision here addressed only an intermediate procedural or evidentiary matter. Therefore, the petition was dismissed as improper.
