CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration. This dismissal occurred because reconsideration can only be sought from a final order, decision, or award that determines substantive rights and liabilities. Interlocutory procedural orders, such as pre-trial rulings on evidence or discovery, are not considered final orders and thus are not subject to reconsideration. Therefore, the petition was dismissed as it addressed a non-final, procedural matter.
