CompFox AI Summary
Defendant UPS sought reconsideration of a decision deferring the issue of injury to the applicant's right forearm and shoulder. The Board dismissed the petition because reconsideration can only be sought from a final order. Deferring an issue, as done in this case, does not determine substantive rights or liabilities, nor does it resolve a threshold issue.
