SELF, in Fort Smith,  Sebastian \nCounty, Arkansas. \n \nClaimant is not represented and did not appear at the hearing. \n \nRespondents are represented by ZACHARY RYBURN, Attorney, Little Rock, Arkansas \n \nOPINION/ORDER \n \n On  August 15, 2023, claimant filed Form AR-C, alleging a compensable injury on July 18, \n2023.   Claimant was not represented by an attorney when the AR-C was filed, and is still pro se.   \nOn February 16, 2024, 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 \nApril  16,  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 delivered to claimant on February 23, 2024.   \nClaimant did not respond to Respondent’s motion and did not appear in person at the hearing on \nApril 16, 2024.   \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 \nof response and failure to attend the hearing for the respondent’s motion, as well as all other matters \n\nHouston-H305232 \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.
