The applicant sought reconsideration of an order directing a medical-legal evaluation concerning a proposed shoulder surgery. The Appeals Board dismissed the petition because the WCJ's order was an interim procedural ruling, not a final determination of substantive rights or liabilities. Therefore, it was not subject to reconsideration.
