Summary

Applicant Keith Pointes, injured as a painter on October 22, 2013, sought reconsideration of a WCJ's July 31, 2023 Notice of Intention to grant his attorney's petition to be relieved as counsel. Applicant objected, asserting he did not consent to being dropped by his attorney (Thao Duong of the Law Office of Orr & Duong) and needed continued representation. The Board held that a Notice of Intention is neither a final nor a non-final order, and because reconsideration may only be taken from a final order, the Petition was premature. The Board dismissed the Petition and returned the matter to the WCJ, recommending the WCJ treat applicant's Petition as an objection to the Notice of Intention and set a hearing to develop the record.
