District office: Los Angeles District Office
WCJ: —
Claim administrator: —
Commissioners: JOSÉ H. RAZO, COMMISSIONER, ANNE SCHMITZ, DEPUTY COMMISSIONER, JOSEPH V. CAPURRO, COMMISSIONER

Injury / body parts: head, hand, fingers, back, right shoulder, psyche/stress

LC §132aLC §5313LC §5903LC §5952CCR §10550

Summary

The WCJ imposed $2,500 in sanctions against applicant's attorney Susan Garrett based on a finding that hearing representative Lance Garrett misrepresented to the court on November 13, 2023 that he and Susan Garrett had provisional ADA accommodations permitting virtual appearances. The WCJ later discovered no such accommodations existed and issued a notice of intention to sanction, to which no objection was filed before the sanctions order issued on December 5, 2023. Susan Garrett petitioned for reconsideration, but the EAMS file contained only the first page of the petition. The Board, citing the scant record and the seriousness of the alleged conduct, rescinded the sanctions order and returned the matter to the trial level for a hearing where both Garretts could testify and present evidence regarding the claimed ADA accommodation.
