RYBURN,  Attorney  at  Law, Little  Rock, \nArkansas. \n \n \n STATEMENT OF THE CASE \n \n This case comes on for review following a hearing on respondent’s Motion to \nDismiss. \n On  February  25,  2025,  Form  AR-C  was  filed  by  attorney  Mark  Peoples  on \nclaimant’s  behalf alleging  an  injury  on September  12,  2024,  and  requesting  various \ncompensation benefits. On June 12, 2025, Attorney Peoples’ Motion to Withdraw was \ngranted  by  an  Order  filed  by  the  Full  Commission.  Thereafter,  on  June  20,  2025, \nrespondents  filed  a  motion  to  dismiss  this  claim  contending  that  claimant  had  failed  to \nprosecute his claim.  \n A hearing was scheduled on respondents’ Motion to Dismiss for September 17, \n2025. Notice of the hearing was sent to claimant at his last known address by certified \n\nWhittle – H500703 \n \n-2- \nmail  and  the  notice  was  returned  as  “Unclaimed”.  Claimant  did  not  appear  at  the \nhearing. \n Pursuant to 11 CAR § 25-110 (d) upon meritorious application to the Commission \nfrom  a  party  requesting  that  the  claim  be  dismissed  for  want  of  prosecution,  the \nCommission  may,  upon  reasonable  notice  to  all  parties,  enter  an  order  dismissing  the \nclaim for want of prosecution. \n After  my  review  of  respondents’  motion,  claimant’s  failure  to  appear  at  the \nhearing or to respond to respondents’ motion, as well as all other matters presented, I \nfind  that  claimant  has  failed  to  prosecute  his  claim  and  therefore  find  that  it  should \ndismissed pursuant to 11 CAR § 25-110 (d). This dismissal is without prejudice. \n IT IS SO ORDERED. \n      _______________________________ \n      GREGORY K.
