SCOT  ZUERKER,  Attorney  at  Law, Fort  Smith, \nArkansas. \n \n \n STATEMENT OF THE CASE \n \n This case comes on for review following a hearing on respondent’s Motion to \nDismiss. \n Claimant  suffered  an  injury  which  respondent  accepted  as  compensable  on \nNovember 28, 2022. On December 7, 2022, Form AR-C was filed on claimant’s behalf \nby his attorney, Jarid Kinder. There has been no activity since the AR-C filing and as a \nresult,  respondent  filed  this  Motion  to  Dismiss  on  May  30,  2025.  A  hearing  was \nscheduled on the respondent’s Motion to Dismiss for July 14, 2025, and notice of the \nhearing was sent to claimant by certified mail and delivered on June 14, 2025. On June \n9,  2025, an  email  was  sent  by  claimant’s  attorney  indicating  that  claimant  had  no \n\nJackson – H208517 \n \n-2- \nobjection to the Motion to Dismiss and that he waived his appearance at the hearing. As \na result, neither claimant nor his attorney appeared at the hearing. \n After my  review  of  respondent’s motion,  claimant’s  statement  that  he  has  no \nobjection  to  the  granting  of  the  motion,  and  all  other  matters  properly  before  the \nCommission,  I  find  that  respondent’s  Motion  to  Dismiss  should  be  and  hereby  is \ngranted.  This  dismissal  is  pursuant  to  Commission  Rule  099.13  and  it  is  without \nprejudice. \n IT IS SO ORDERED. \n      _______________________________ \n      GREGORY K.
