Berumen, Alejandra

Applicant Alejandra Berumen filed a Petition for Reconsideration and Removal challenging the WCJ's February 11, 2025 Order granting defendant CNA's Motion to Quash a subpoena duces tecum directed to Sedgwick Claims Management, which was quashed 'pending determination of coverage.' The Board dismissed the petition to the extent it sought reconsideration because the order quashing a subpoena is an intermediate evidentiary/procedural order, not a 'final' order subject to reconsideration. The Board denied the petition to the extent it sought removal because applicant failed to show substantial prejudice, irreparable harm, or that later reconsideration would be inadequate. Although denying relief, the Board treated the petition as timely (finding the proof of service was not filed by the designated party Stockwell Harris, so the verified March 20, 2025 notice date controlled) and noted the coverage dispute could be revisited later or addressed by a new narrowly tailored subpoena. The Board also reminded the parties to identify proper defendants and coverage periods under Rule 10390.
