STEWART in Springdale, \nWashington County, Arkansas. \n \nClaimant represented  by  EVELYN  E.  BROOKS,  Attorney,  Fayetteville,  Arkansas; \nalthough not appearing at hearing. \n \nRespondents represented by J. MATTHEW MAULDIN, 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 On January 24, 2023, claimant filed Form AR-C and a change of physician request.  \nOn March 16, 2023, the Commission granted claimant’s change of physician request to \nDr.  Blankenship  and  set  up  an  appointment  for  claimant  to  be  evaluated  by  Dr. \nBlankenship on April 10, 2023.  Claimant did not attend that appointment. \n On  January  19,  2024,  respondent  filed  a Motion  to Dismiss.    A  hearing  was \nscheduled  on  the  respondent’s  motion for  March  13, 2024.    Notice  of  the hearing  was \nsent  to  claimant  at  her  last  known  address.    On  February  5,  2024,  Attorney  Brooks \nindicated by e-mail that she had been unable to reach her client despite trying several \n\nParrish – H300491 \n \n2 \n \nmethods and that since claimant would not respond she was assuming that claimant no \nlonger wished to pursue her claim.  As a result, Ms. Brooks indicated that she would not \nobject to a dismissal. \n After my review of the respondent’s motion, Ms. Brooks’ response thereto, and the \nclaimant’s failure to respond to  the  respondent’s  motion  or  to  her  attorney, I  find  that \nrespondent’s motion to dismiss this claim should be and hereby is granted.  This dismissal \nis pursuant to Commission Rule 099.13 and it is without prejudice. \n IT IS SO ORDERED. \n \n      _____________________________________ \n       GREGORY K.
