H003806 \n \nRITINA MENASAO, EMPLOYEE   CLAIMANT \n \nGEORGE’S PROCESSING INC., EMPLOYER RESPONDENT \n \nCORVEL ENTERPRISE COMP., INC./INSURANCE CARRIER RESPONDENT \n \nOPINION/ORDER FILED APRIL 24, 2025 \n \nHearing before ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE JOSEPH C. SELF, in Springdale, Washington \nCounty, Arkansas. \n \nClaimant is pro se and did not attend the hearing. \n \nRespondents are represented by KRISTY E. BOEHLER, Attorney, Fayetteville Arkansas \n \nOPINION/ORDER \n \n On   August  5,  2020,  claimant  filed  Form  AR-C,  alleging  a  compensable  injury  on June 5, \n2020.   Claimant was represented at the time by Jarid M. Kinder, who filed a Motion to Withdraw on \nMarch 29, 2022 and was allowed to withdraw on April 8, 2022.   \nOn February 24, 2025, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss, alleging that it had been more \nthan six months since claimant filed her Form AR-C with the Commission, but she had not made a \nrequest for a hearing in that time.  A hearing on respondent’s Motion to Dismiss was scheduled for \nApril  18,  2025.    Notice  of  the  scheduled  hearing  was  sent  to claimant  by  certified  mail  at  the  last \nknown address in the Commission’s file.  The notice was returned unclaimed on March  14,  2025.   \nClaimant did not respond to respondent’s motion and did not appear in person at the hearing on April \n18, 2025.  \nI find it has been more than six months since prior to this hearing and that no request for a \n\nMenansao-H003806 \n \n2 \n \nhearing has been made in this file.  After my review of the respondent’s motion, the claimant’s lack of \nresponse and failure to attend the hearing for the respondent’s motion, as well as all other matters \nproperly before the Commission, I find that respondent’s Motion to Dismiss this claim should be and \nhereby is granted.  This dismissal is pursuant to Commission Rule 099.13 and is without prejudice. \nIT IS SO ORDERED. \n \n \n      _______________________________________                                                                                    \n      JOSEPH C.
