In that order, the WCJ denied defendant’s Petition to Dismiss the claim noting that applicant’s Application for Adjudication of Claim (Application) was filed on June 2, 2010, and that defendant’s petition was premature. In its Petition for Reconsideration, defendant contends that the WCJ erred in denying its Petition for Dismissal of this claim as premature where the Application was filed on February 21, 2009. not June 2, 2010 (Petition for Reconsideration, at p. 2). No Answer was found in the Electronic Adjudication Management System (EAMS) or in the file forwarded to us. We have considered the allegations of defendant’s Petition for Reconsideration and the contents of the record, including the WCJ’s Report and Recommendation on1 Petition for Reconsideration (Report). Rased on our review of the record and for the reasons stated herein, wc will dismiss defendant’s Petition for Reconsideration and deny removal. Reconsideration may be had only of a final order, decision, or award. (Lab. Code §§ 5900. ¡ subd. (a); 5902.) Interlocutory procedural orders are not final orders within the meaning of Labor Code section 5900.
