PEOPLES, Attorney \nat Law, Little Rock, Arkansas. \n \nRespondents represented by the HONORABLE MELISSA WOOD, Attorney \nat Law, Little Rock, Arkansas. \n \n \n ORDER \n The parties in the above-styled matter have filed a joint MOTION TO \nSTAY PROCEEDINGS/APPEAL.  The Full Commission grants the parties’ \nmotion. \n An administrative law judge filed an opinion on March 5, 2024.  The \nadministrative law judge found, among other things, that the claimant \nproved he sustained a compensable injury.  The administrative law judge \nawarded medical treatment and temporary total disability benefits.  The \nrespondents filed a timely notice of appeal to the Full Commission.   \n The parties have now filed a joint MOTION TO STAY \nPROCEEDINGS/APPEAL and state that they have reached a tentative \n\nZINTEL - H304280  2\n  \n \n \nsettlement agreement.  The parties state, among other things, that an \n“automatic stay” in United States Bankruptcy Court “precludes the workers’ \ncompensation claim from moving forward without permission to do so.”  The \nparties do not cite any supporting authority and have not submitted an order \nfrom United States Bankruptcy Court. \n Nevertheless, the parties jointly pray that the claim be held in \nabeyance for a period of up to six months, and the parties ask that the \npending appeal be reinstated should the claim not be resolved by Joint \nPetition settlement.  The Full Commission therefore grants the parties’ joint \nmotion. \n IT IS SO ORDERED.    \n \n    ___________________________________ \n    SCOTTY DALE DOUTHIT, Chairman \n \n    ___________________________________ \n    M.
