CompFox AI Summary
This case involved a police officer's claim for industrial injury, including stomach cancer. The applicant sought reconsideration and removal of an order that allowed the record to be reopened for further medical evidence development concerning his cancer diagnosis. The Appeals Board dismissed the reconsideration petition because the order was not a final determination of substantive rights. They also denied the removal petition, finding no significant prejudice or irreparable harm, and directed the WCJ to rule on a subsequent petition to reopen. The Board noted potential application of Labor Code section 3212.1 regarding cancer presumptions for police officers.
