Evelyn Jiron Garca — ADJ18995801

Applicant Evelyn Jiron Garca filed a claim alleging a specific left ankle injury on June 8, 2023 while working as a janitor for Employers Outsourcing, LLC, which was uninsured. After confusion over the identity of the employer, insurer, and third-party administrator, the WCJ issued a January 30, 2025 combined 'Order to Produce; and Notice of Intent to Impose Sanctions' ($400 under Rule 10390) requiring defendant to disclose insurance coverage and employment documents. Defendant petitioned for removal, arguing the sanctions NIT was not warranted and the Order to Produce violated due process because it issued without notice, an opportunity to be heard, or an evidentiary record. The Board held the NIT was not ripe for removal (premature), but agreed the Order to Produce caused substantial prejudice and irreparable harm due to lack of notice and no record permitting review under Hamilton. The Board granted the Petition for Removal, rescinded the entire January 30, 2025 order, and returned the matter to the WCJ for further proceedings.
