Discovery  was  conducted  by  the  parties  with  the  respondent  responding  to \nclaimant’s discovery request, but claimant did not respond to the respondent’s discovery \nrequest. A Motion to Withdraw as Claimant’s Counsel was filed by attorney Mark Peoples \nand was granted by the Full Commission Order filed August 20, 2024. No further action \nhas  been  taken  in  this  claim  and  respondent  filed  its  Motion  to  Dismiss  on  January  6, \n2025.  \n A hearing was scheduled on the respondent’s Motion to Dismiss for February 24, \n2025. Notice of the hearing was sent to claimant by certified mail and was delivered on \n\nCase – H403806 \n2 \n \nJanuary  29,  2025.  Later  that  same  date,  claimant  telephoned  my  assistant,  Janie \nMcGaugh, and indicated that he did not wish to proceed with his case. This conversation \nis  reflected  in  a  memo  dated  January  29,  2025,  and  admitted  into  the  record  as \nCommission Exhibit 2. \n After my review of the respondent’s motion, the claimant’s response thereto, and \nall  other  matters  properly  before  the  Commission,  I  find  that  respondent’s motion  to \ndismiss  this  claim should  be  and  hereby  is  granted.    This  dismissal  is  pursuant  to \nCommission Rule 099.13 and it is without prejudice. \n IT IS SO ORDERED. \n \n      ____________________________________ \n       GREGORY K.
