JONES,  Attorney, Little Rock, Arkansas. \n \n \n \n OPINION/ORDER \n  \n This case comes on for review following a hearing on respondent’s Motion to \nDismiss. \n This  claim  involves  an  injury  to  claimant’s  right  leg  on  September  2,  2022.  \nRespondent accepted this injury as compensable and paid compensation benefits.  On \nOctober  18,  2022,  Attorney  York  on  behalf  of  claimant  filed  Form  AR-C  requesting \nadditional compensation benefits.  An Agreed Order was filed on June 21, 2023, primarily \naddressing  claimant’s  entitlement  to  temporary  partial  disability  and/or  temporary  total \ndisability benefits from September 2, 2022 through December 31, 2022.   \nThereafter,  on  January  29,  2024,  Attorney  York  filed  a  Motion  to  Withdraw  as \nCounsel.    This  motion  was  granted by  the Full  Commission  in an Order  filed  March 5, \n2024.  No further action was taken and respondent filed its Motion to Dismiss on May 15, \n\nFrank – H206805 \n \n2 \n \n2024. \nA  hearing on  respondent’s  motion  to  Dismiss was  scheduled for July 31, 2024. \nNotice of the hearing was sent to claimant by certified mail and was delivered on June \n13,  2024.    Claimant did  not  appear  at  the  hearing and has  not  responded  to  the \nrespondent’s Motion to Dismiss. \n After my review of the respondent’s motion, the claimant’s failure to appear at the \nhearing or respond to the respondent’s motion, I find that respondent’s Motion to Dismiss \nshould be and hereby is granted.  This dismissal is pursuant to Commission Rule 099.13 \nand it is without prejudice. \n IT IS SO ORDERED. \n \n      _____________________________________ \n       GREGORY K.
