CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed Ramon Fuentes' petition for reconsideration because it was not filed from a "final" order that determined substantive rights or liabilities. The WCAB also denied the petition for removal, finding no substantial prejudice or irreparable harm that would justify this extraordinary remedy. The WCJ's report, which was adopted by the WCAB, stated the decision only addressed an intermediate procedural issue. Therefore, reconsideration would be an adequate remedy if a final adverse decision issues later.
