H300775 \n \nJOHN COX, EMPLOYEE   CLAIMANT \n \nARAMARK UNIFORM & CAREER APPAREL, EMPLOYER RESPONDENT \n \nSEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES INC./INSURANCE CARRIER RESPONDENT \n \nOPINION/ORDER FILED NOVEMBER 9, 2023 \n \nHearing before ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE JOSEPH C. SELF, in Springdale, Washington \nCounty, Arkansas. \n \nClaimant is not represented and did not appear at the hearing. \n \nRespondents are represented by RANDY P. MURPHY, Attorney, Little Rock, Arkansas \n \nOPINION/ORDER \n \n On  February 3, 2023, claimant filed Form AR-C, alleging a compensable injury on December \n2, 20222.   Claimant was represented at the time by Laura Beth York,  who filed a Motion to Withdraw \non August 23, 2023 and was allowed to withdraw on September 6, 2023.  No other attorney entered \nan appearance on claimant’s behalf.     \nOn September 18, 2023, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss, alleging that it had been more \nthan six months since claimant filed his Form AR-C with the Commission, but he had not made a \nrequest for a hearing in that time. A hearing on  respondent’s Motion to Dismiss was scheduled for \nNovember 2, 2023.  Notice of the scheduled hearing was sent to claimant by certified mail at the last \nknown address in the Commission’s file.  The notice was delivered to claimant on September 22, 2023.   \nClaimant  did  not  respond  to  respondent’s motion  and  did  not  appear  in  person  at  the  hearing  on \nNovember 2, 2023.   \nI find it has been more than six months since prior to this hearing and that no request for a \n\nCox-H300775 \n \n2 \n \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 \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.
