CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed an applicant's petition for reconsideration, finding the prior decision was not a "final" order as it only resolved an intermediate procedural or evidentiary issue. The Board also denied the applicant's petition for removal, deeming it an extraordinary remedy not warranted by the circumstances. The applicant failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm from the denial of removal, nor that reconsideration would be an inadequate remedy later. The Board concluded the issuance of a Qualified Medical Evaluator panel did not cause any demonstrated harm or prejudice.
