On December 4, 2023, claimant was released to full \nduty with no  permanent  impairment  rating.   On  April  9, 2024,  Form AR-C  was  filed on \nclaimant’s behalf by Attorney Laura Beth York.  On August 26, 2024, Attorney York filed \na Motion to Withdraw as Counsel.  Attorney York’s motion was granted by an Order filed \nby  the  Full  Commission  on October  3,  2024.    Shortly  thereafter,  on  October  7,  2024, \nrespondent  filed  a  Motion  to  Dismiss.    A  hearing  was  scheduled on the respondent’s \nmotion for December 18, 2024 and notice of the hearing was sent to claimant by certified \nmail and delivered on November 8, 2024.  Claimant did not appear at the hearing and \n\nBryant – H302570 \n \n2 \n \nhas not responded to the respondent’s Motion to Dismiss. \n After my  review of  the  respondent’s motion,  the  claimant’s  failure  to  respond \nthereto, and all other matters properly before the Commission, I find that respondent’s \nMotion  to  Dismiss should  be  and  hereby  is  granted.    This  dismissal  is  pursuant  to \nCommission Rule 099.13 and it is without prejudice. \n IT IS SO ORDERED. \n \n      _____________________________________ \n       GREGORY K.
