HARDY, Attorney, Little Rock, Arkansas \n \nOPINION/ORDER \n \n On   May  24, 2023,  claimant  filed  Form  AR-C,  alleging  a  compensable  injury  on April  6, \n2023.   Claimant was represented at the time by Mark Peoples who filed a Motion to Withdraw on \nSeptember 19, 2023, and was allowed to withdraw on October 3, 2023.   \nOn February 26, 2025, 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 \nMay 13, 2025.  Notice of the scheduled hearing was sent to claimant by certified mail at the last known \naddress in the Commission’s file.  The notice was delivered to claimant on March 24, 2025.    Claimant \ndid not respond to respondent’s motion and did not appear in person at the hearing on May 13, 2025.  \nI find it has been more than six months since prior to this hearing and that no request for a \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 \n\nSeda-H303352 \n \n2 \n \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.
