CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a petition for reconsideration that was dismissed because it was filed from a non-final order. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) clarified that reconsideration is only available for final orders that determine substantive rights, liabilities, or threshold issues. An interlocutory procedural decision, such as a notice of intent to dismiss a lien for failure to appear at a conference, is not a final order. While the petition was dismissed, it will be considered as a timely objection to the notice of intent to dismiss.
