No further action was taken in this claim. \nOn May 8, 2025, the respondents filed a Motion to Dismiss requesting that this claim be \ndismissed  for  lack  of  prosecution.  A  hearing  was  scheduled  for July  8,  2025.  Notice  of  that \nhearing  was  sent  to  the  claimant  by  certified  mail,  return  receipt  requested  on May  16,  2025. \nThat notice was returned by the United States Postal Department with the notation, “Return to \nSender.  No Such Number.  Unable to Forward.”  \nMr. Peoples indicated by email dated May 16, 2025, that he would waive his appearance \nat  the  hearing  and  further  indicated  that he had  no  objection  to  the  Motion  to  Dismiss \n“WITHOUT prejudice.”    \n\nWolf – H405036 \n2 \n \nPursuant  to  11  CAR  §25-110(d)  (previously  codified  as  Commission  Rule  099.13),  the \nCommission may enter an order dismissing a claim for want of prosecution.  After my review of \nthe respondent’s Motion to Dismiss, Mr. Peoples’ response thereto that he had no objection to \nthe Motion to Dismiss without prejudice, and the claimant’s failure to appear at the scheduled \nhearing,  as  well  as  all  other  matters  properly  before  the  Commission,  I  find  that  claimant  has \nfailed to prosecute this claim. Therefore, this claim is dismissed without prejudice.   \n IT IS SO ORDERED. \n       \n      ________________________________ \n      HONORABLE ERIC PAUL WELLS \n      ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE","preview":"BEFORE THE ARKANSAS WORKERS' COMPENSATION COMMISSION WCC NO.
