CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration, finding the administrative law judge's order continuing a hearing was procedural, not final. The Board also denied the applicant's petition for removal, ruling he failed to demonstrate substantial prejudice or irreparable harm from the three-week continuance. The applicant's refusal to agree to a rescheduled date and their counsel's verification issues further supported the Board's decision. Ultimately, the Board sought to expedite the case by remanding it for a prompt priority conference.
