Claimant was not represented by an attorney when the AR-C was filed, and is still pro se.   \nOn February 16, 2023, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss, alleging that it had been more \nthan six months since claimant filed his Form AR-C with the Commission, but he had not made a \nrequest for a hearing in that time. A hearing on  respondent’s Motion to Dismiss was scheduled for \nApril 18, 2023. Notice of the scheduled hearing was sent to claimant by certified mail at the last known \naddress in the Commission’s file. The notice was delivered to claimant on March 2, 2023.  Claimant \ndid not respond to Respondent’s motion and  did  not  appear  in  person at  the  hearing  on  April  18, \n2023.   \nI find it has been more than six months since prior to this hearing and that no request for a \nhearing has been made in this file.  After my review of the Respondent’s motion, the Claimant’s lack \nof response and failure to attend the hearing for the Respondent’s motion, as well as all other matters \n\nAllen-H204068 \n \n2 \n \nproperly before the Commission, I find that Respondent’s Motion to Dismiss this claim should be \nand hereby 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.
