What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The petition for reconsideration was filed more than 25 days after service of the dismissal order, making it untimely and thus outside the Board's jurisdiction to consider it as a petition for reconsideration.
