Efrain Dominguez Diaz — ADJ13508412

Applicant Efrain Dominguez Diaz filed a combined Petition for Reconsideration or Removal on November 23, 2022, challenging the WCJ's November 8, 2022 Order Rescinding Order. The Appeals Board found that the Order Rescinding Order was not a 'final' order subject to reconsideration, applying the established distinction between final orders that determine substantive rights or threshold issues and interlocutory procedural orders. The Board dismissed the petition to the extent it sought reconsideration and denied it to the extent it sought removal, finding no showing of substantial prejudice or irreparable harm. The Board also encouraged the parties and WCJ to follow the record-keeping requirements set forth in Hamilton v. Lockheed Corporation before resubmitting the matter.
