On August 12, 2024, the hearing was cancelled, and \nno further action has been taken in this claim. \nOn April 3, 2025, the respondents filed a Motion to Dismiss requesting that this claim be \ndismissed  for  lack  of  prosecution.  A  hearing  was  scheduled  for May  20,  2025.  Notice  of  that \nhearing was sent to the claimant by certified mail, return receipt requested on April 9, 2025.

This dismissal is without prejudice.  \nORDER \n Pursuant  to  the  above  statement  of  the  case  and  Commission  Rule  099.13,  I  have  no \nalternative but to dismiss this claim in its entirety, without prejudice, for failure to prosecute. \n If  respondents  have  not  already  done  so,  they  are  directed  to  pay  the  court  reporter, \nVeronica Lane, her fees and expenses within thirty (30) days of receipt of her invoice. \n IT IS SO ORDERED.    \n      ________________________________ \n      HONORABLE ERIC PAUL WELLS \n      ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE","preview":"BEFORE THE ARKANSAS WORKERS' COMPENSATION COMMISSION WCC NO.
