H303281 \n \nSYDNEY M. KENEDY, EMPLOYEE   CLAIMANT \n \nHORSESHOE CANYON RANCH LLC, EMPLOYER RESPONDENT \n \nAMTRUST NORTH AMERICA/INSURANCE CARRIER RESPONDENT \n \nOPINION/ORDER FILED JANUARY 2, 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 WILLIAM C. FRYE, Attorney, North Little Rock Arkansas \n \nOPINION/ORDER \n \n On   April  11,  20024,  claimant  filed  Form  AR-C,  alleging  a  compensable  injury  on May  5, \n2023.   Claimant  was represented at the time by Mark A. Peoples, who filed a motion to withdraw on \nAugust 26, 2024 and was allowed to withdraw on October 3, 2004.    \nOn October  7,  2024, respondent  filed  a  Motion  to  Dismiss,  alleging  that  it  had  been  more \nthan six months since claimant filed her Form AR-C with the Commission, but she had not made a \nrequest for a hearing in that time.  A hearing on respondent’s Motion to Dismiss was scheduled for \nDecember 19, 2024.  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 returned unclaimed on November  14, \n2024.    Claimant did not respond to respondent’s motion and did not appear in person at the hearing \non December 19, 2024.  \nI find it has been more than six months since prior to this hearing and that no request for a \n\nKennedy-H303281 \n \n2 \n \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 \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.
