That case is not applicable. There has been no lien filed by a provider of worker' s compensation benefits and there has been no intervention by a provider as was the case in Jorgensen. Here, the plaintiffs are asking this Court to assume jurisdiction over an unknown entity for an unidentified dispute and the Court declines to do so. It is therefore
