MATTHEW MAULDIN,  Attorney, Little Rock, Arkansas. \n \n \n OPINION/ORDER \n  \n This case comes on for review following a hearing on respondent’s Motion to \nDismiss. \n On March 30, 2022, an AR-C was filed by Attorney Laura Beth York on behalf of \nclaimant requesting compensation benefits for an injury on April 14, 2020.  On May 31, \n2023, Attorney York filed a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel.  That motion was granted by \na  Full  Commission  Order  filed  June  13,  2023.    No  action  has  been  taken  to  request  a \nhearing  in this claim, and as a result respondent filed a  motion to dismiss on June 26, \n2023.   \n A hearing on respondent’s motion was scheduled for August 23, 2023, and notice \nof  that  hearing  was  sent  to  claimant  by  certified  mail  and  delivered  on  July  20,  2023.  \n\nNeedles – H100273 \n \n2 \n \nClaimant did not appear at the hearing and has not responded to the respondent’s motion. \n After my  review of  the  respondent’s motion,  the  claimant’s failure  to  respond \nthereto,  and all  other  matters  properly  before  the  Commission, I find that respondent’s \nmotion to dismiss this claim should be and hereby is granted.  This dismissal is pursuant \nto Commission Rule 099.13 and it is without prejudice. \n IT IS SO ORDERED. \n \n \n      _____________________________________ \n       GREGORY K.
