SELF, in Fort Smith, Sebastian \nCounty, Arkansas. \n \nClaimant is not represented and did not appear at the hearing. \n \nRespondents are represented by JASON RYBURN, Attorney, Little Rock, Arkansas \n \nOPINION/ORDER \n \n \n On  June  30,  2022,  claimant  filed  Form  AR-C,  alleging  a  compensable  injury  on  June  18, \n2022.   Claimant was not represented by an attorney when the AR-C was filed, and is still pro se.   \nOn April 25, 2023, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss, alleging that it had been more than \nsix months since claimant filed her Form AR-C with the Commission, but she had not made a request \nfor a hearing in that time. A hearing on respondent’s Motion to Dismiss was scheduled for June 27, \n2023.  Notice of the scheduled hearing was sent to claimant by certified mail at the last known address \nin the Commission’s file.  The notice  was  returned  unclaimed  on  May  22, 2023.  Claimant  did  not \nrespond to Respondent’s motion and did not appear in person at the hearing on June 27, 2023.   \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\nLassiter-H20472 \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.
