JEREMIAH, EMPLOYEE   CLAIMANT \n \nW & W AUTOMOTIVE LLC, EMPLOYER RESPONDENT \n \nAUTO-OWNERS INSURANCE COMPANY/INSURANCE CARRIER RESPONDENT \n \nOPINION/ORDER FILED JULY 31, 2025 \n \nHearing before ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE JOSEPH C. SELF, in Fort Smith, Sebastian \nCounty, Arkansas. \n \nClaimant is pro se and did not appear at the hearing. \n \nRespondents are represented by RANDY P. MURPHY, Attorney, Little Rock Arkansas \n \nOPINION/ORDER \n \n On   April  1,  2024,  claimant  filed  Form  AR-C,  alleging  a  compensable  injury  on March  1, \n2024.   Claimant  was  represented  at  the  time  by  attorney  Mark  A.  Peoples,  who  filed  a Motion  to \nWithdraw on April 15, 2024, and was allowed to withdraw on May 3, 2024.   \nOn April 24, 2025, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss, alleging that it had been more than \nsix months since claimant filed his Form AR-C with the Commission, but he had not made a request \nfor a hearing in that time.   A hearing on respondent’s Motion to Dismiss was scheduled for July 21, \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 returned unclaimed on June 6, 2025.    Claimant did not \nrespond to respondent’s motion and did not appear in person at the hearing on July 21, 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\nJeremiah-H402211 \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.
