Based on our review of the record, and for the reasons stated in said Report, which we adopt and incorporate, we will dismiss the petition, as not taken from a final order. As noted in the WCJ’ s Report, there is no Order of Dismissal, and therefore there is no proper basis for filing a petition for reconsideration. (Lab. Code, §§ 5900 et seq.) Accordingly, we admonish lien claimant’s attorney for filing a petition for reconsideration where there is clearly no final order. Thefiling of a petition for reconsideration triggers jurisdictional requirements, wasting the time and resources of all concerned. In this instance, the June 5, 2014 hearing was canceled, as reflected in the Minutes of Hearing of that date. Furthermore, the fact that the petition for reconsideration is not verified constitutes a separate and independent basis for dismissal. (Lab. Code, § 5902.) It appears petitioner is approaching the line past which sanctions may be imposed. (Lab. Code,§ 5813.)/ / // / // / / , For the foregoing reasons, IT IS ORDERED that said Petition for Reconsideration is DISMISSED.WORKERS’ COMPENSATION APPEALS BOARD _____________________________________________DEIDRA E.
