ANDERSON, EMPLOYEE   CLAIMANT \n \nU S A TRUCK INC., EMPLOYER RESPONDENT \n \nBROADSPIRE SERVICES INC./INSURANCE CARRIER RESPONDENT \n \nOPINION/ORDER FILED JULY 31, 2025 \n \nHearing before ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE JOSEPH C. SELF, in Springdale, Washington \nCounty, Arkansas. \n \nClaimant is pro se and did not appear at the hearing. \n \nRespondents are represented by R. SCOTT ZUERKER, Attorney, Fort Smith Arkansas \n \nOPINION/ORDER \n \n On  October 25, 2024, claimant filed Form AR-C, alleging a compensable injury on October \n27, 2022.   Claimant was not represented by an attorney when the AR-C was filed, and is still pro se.   \nOn May 7, 2025, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss, alleging that it had been more than \nsix months since claimant filed his Form AR-C with the Commission, but he had not made a request \nfor a hearing in that time.   A hearing on respondent’s Motion to Dismiss was scheduled for July 21, \n2025.  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  27,  2025. Claimant  did  not \nrespond to respondent’s motion and did not appear in person at the hearing on July 21, 2025.   \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 of \nresponse and failure to attend the hearing for the respondent’s motion, as well as all other matters \n\nAnderson-H208211 \n \n2 \n \nproperly before the Commission, I find that respondent’s Motion to Dismiss this claim should be and \nhereby 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.
