STEWART in Springdale, \nWashington County, Arkansas. \n \nClaimant not represented by counsel and not appearing at hearing. \n \nRespondents represented by GUY ALTON WADE,  Attorney, Little Rock, Arkansas. \n \n \n \n OPINION/ORDER \n  \n This case comes on for review following a hearing on respondent’s Motion to \nDismiss. \n This claim involves a compensable injury to claimant’s fingers which occurred on \nNovember 15, 2022.  Respondent accepted the injury as compensable and paid some \ncompensation  benefits.    After a  Form  AR-C  was  filed  on  claimant’s  behalf  by  attorney \nMark Peoples, discovery was propounded to claimant.  No answers were forthcoming and \nAttorney Peoples subsequently filed a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel.  This motion was \ngranted by the Full Commission in an order filed February 26, 2024. \nOn  March  1,  2024,  respondent filed its Motion  to Dismiss.  A  hearing  was \nscheduled on the respondent’s motion for July 24, 2024. Notice of the hearing was sent \nto claimant at his last known address by certified mail and that notice was picked up at \n\nOrozco – H305999 \n \n2 \n \nthe  Post  Office on July  1,  2024.    Claimant did  not  appear  at  the  hearing  and  has  not \nresponded to the respondent’s motion. \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.
