IN THE MATTER OF THE CLAIM OF JESUS HERRERA, Claimant, v. KCI, Employer, and NON-INSURED, Insurer, Respondent.

W.C. No. 4-567-094Industrial Claim Appeals Office.
November 5, 2003

ORDER OF REMAND
The respondent employer filed a Petition to Review an order of Administrative Law Judge Klein (ALJ) dated July 29, 2003, which determined the respondent employer was uninsured when the claimant suffered a compensable injury and ordered the employer to pay workers’ compensation benefits and penalties. On September 22, 2003, the matter was transmitted to us for review of the ALJ’s order.

On October 31, 2003, the parties filed a Joint Motion for Remand in which they request an order remanding the matter for further proceedings to present testimony and/or other evidence on the issue of whether the employer was insured for workers’ compensation at the time of claimant’s injury and any and all issues affected by the existence of insurance coverage. The motion states there is now evidence of insurance and the putative insurer did not receive notice of the claim until after the ALJ’s order was entered.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the joint motion is granted and the respondent employer’s Petition to Review the ALJ’s order dated July 29, 2003, is dismissed without prejudice.
