SELF, in Springdale, Washington \nCounty, Arkansas. \n \nClaimant is pro se and did not appear at the hearing. \n \nRespondents are represented by RICK BEHRING JR., Attorney, Little Rock, Arkansas \n \nOPINION/ORDER \n \n On  October 1, 2024, claimant filed Form AR-C, alleging a compensable injury on March 26, \n2024.   Claimant was not represented by an attorney when the AR-C was filed, and is still pro se.   \nOn January 6, 2025, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss, alleging that it had been more than \nsix months since claimant filed her Form AR-C with the Commission, but she had not made a request \nfor a hearing in that time.   A hearing on respondent’s Motion to Dismiss was scheduled for May 29, \n2025.  Notice of the scheduled hearing was sent to claimant by certified mail at the last known address \nin the Commission’s file.  The notice was delivered to claimant on May 1, 2025.    Claimant did not \nrespond to respondent’s motion and did not appear in person at the hearing on May 29, 2025.  \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 of \nresponse and failure to attend the hearing for the respondent’s motion, as well as all other matters \n\nIJIMAKINDE-H402154 \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.
