GUYLL, EMPLOYEE   CLAIMANT \n \nHEBER SPRINGS WHOLESALE GROCERY INC., EMPLOYER RESPONDENT \n \nMEM MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY/INSURANCE CARRIER RESPONDENT \n \nOPINION/ORDER FILED MAY 22, 2025 \n \nHearing before ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE JOSEPH C. SELF, in Springdale, Washington \nCounty, Arkansas. \n \nClaimant is represented by MATTHEW J. KETCHAM, Attorney, Fort Smith, Arkansas although \nnot appearing. \n \nRespondents are represented by GUY A. WADE, Attorney, Little Rock, Arkansas \n \nOPINION/ORDER \n \n On   February  29,  2024,  claimant  filed  Form  AR-C,  alleging  a  compensable  injury  on \nDecember17, 2023.   Claimant was represented at the time by Matthew J. Ketcham, who remains his \nattorney of record.    \nOn March  4,  2025, claimant’s attorney filed  a  Motion  to  Dismiss,  alleging  that  it  had  been \nmore than six months since claimant filed his Form AR-C with the Commission, but he had not made \na request for a hearing in that time. Claimant’s attorney advised the Commission he had no objection \nto  the  Motion  to  Dismiss  and  would  not  attend  the  hearing.    A  hearing  on claimant’s Motion to \nDismiss  was  scheduled  for May  1,  2025.    Notice  of  the  scheduled  hearing  was  sent  to claimant  by \ncertified mail at the last known address in the Commission’s file.  The notice was returned unclaimed \non April 21, 2025.  Claimant did not respond to the Motion to Dismiss and did not appear in person \nat the hearing on May 1, 2025.  \nI find it has been more than six months since prior to this hearing and that no request for a \n\nGuyll-H401525 \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.
