MCKINNEY,  Attorney  at  Law, Little  Rock, \nArkansas. \n \n \n STATEMENT OF THE CASE \n \nThis case comes on for review following a hearing on respondent’s Motion to \nDismiss. \nClaimant was involved in a motor vehicle accident while working for respondent \non  June  11,  2024.  On  July  3,  2024,  a  Form  AR-C  was  filed  by  Attorney  Peoples  on \nbehalf of the claimant. The respondent accepted this claim as a medical only claim. No \nfurther  action  was  taken  and  on  November  22,  2024,  Attorney  Peoples’  Motion  to \nWithdraw as Counsel was granted by an order filed by the Full Commission. Thereafter, \nrespondent filed its Motion to Dismiss on January 3, 2025. A hearing was scheduled on \nthe respondent’s motion for March 12, 2025, and notice was sent to claimant by certified \nmail.  \n\nJuan – H404293 \n \n-2- \nClaimant  appeared  at  the  hearing  and  indicated  that  she  did  not  want  her  case \ndismissed  but  instead  was  simply  asking  for  payment  of  her  medical  bills.  Attorney \nMcKinney  indicated  that  respondent  would  pay  the  medical  bills  if  they  are  related  to \nclaimant’s June 11, 2024, accident. Claimant has agreed to provide Attorney McKinney \nwith copies of the unpaid medical bills. If those bills are not paid, claimant may request \na hearing at that time.  \nAfter my review of the respondent’s motion, the claimant’s response indicating \nthat  she  does  not  want  her  claim  dismissed  at  this  time  but  does  want  payment  of \nmedical  bills,  as  well  as  all  other  matters  properly  before  the  Commission,  I  find  that \nrespondent’s Motion to Dismiss this claim should be and hereby is denied. \n IT IS SO ORDERED. \n \n      _______________________________ \n      GREGORY K.
