Claimant’s  claim  for  compensation  benefits  was \ncontroverted  by  the  respondent.    A  hearing  was  set  on  the  claimant’s  claim,  but  was \nsubsequently canceled.  Thereafter, claimant’s attorney filed a Motion to Withdraw which \nwas granted by Order dated March 5, 2024.  No further action was taken by the claimant \nto prosecute his claim. \nRespondent  filed  a Motion  to Dismiss on April  16,  2024,  and  a hearing  was \nscheduled on the respondent’s motion for June 3, 2024. Notice of the hearing was sent \nto  claimant at  his  last  known  address by  certified  mail and  was returned to  the \n\nCurtis – H306587 \n \n2 \n \nCommission  by  the  Post  Office  as “unclaimed” on  May  16,  2024.  Claimant  has  not \nresponded to the respondent’s motion and did not appear at the hearing. \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 without prejudice \nand is pursuant to Commission Rule 099.13. \n IT IS SO ORDERED. \n \n      _____________________________________ \n       GREGORY K.
