PARRISH, 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 Claimant  suffered a  compensable  injury to her  right  ankle  on  October 26,  2021.  \nThis injury was accepted by respondent as compensable and medical benefits were paid.  \nOn  February  1,  2022,  claimant  filed  Form  AR-C  requesting  various  compensation \nbenefits.  Despite filing the AR-C, no further action was taken by claimant to pursue her \nclaim.  On December 7, 2022, respondent requested dismissal of the claim. \n Following    the    respondent’s    request,    claimant    completed    Commission \ninterrogatories agreeing to dismissal of the claim, but did not have them notarized despite \nbeing given additional time to do so. \n\nGrisham – H200996 \n \n2 \n \n Consequently,  a  hearing  was  scheduled  for  respondent’s  Motion  to  Dismiss  for \nFebruary 27, 2023.  Notice of the hearing was sent to claimant by certified mail and was \nreturned as “Unclaimed.”  Claimant did not appear at the hearing and has made no further \nresponse to the respondent’s request. \n After my review of the respondent’s motion, the claimant’s response thereto, and \nall  other  matters  properly  before  the  Commission,  I  find  that  respondent’s  motion  to \ndismiss  this  claim  should  be  and  hereby  is  granted.  This  dismissal  is  pursuant  to \nCommission Rule 099.13 and it is without prejudice. \n IT IS SO ORDERED. \n \n \n \n      _____________________________________ \n       GREGORY K.
