BEFORE THE ARKANSAS WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION CLAIM NO. H202787 MICHAEL STROUD, EMPLOYEE CLAIMANT LITTLE ROCK WATER RESTORATION AUTHORITY, EMPLOYER RESPONDENT ARKANSAS SCHOOL BOARDS’ ASS’N WORKERS’ COMPENSATION TRUST, SELF-INSURED, CARRIER/TPA RESPONDENT NUNC PRO TUNC ORDER FILED SEPTEMBER 7, 2023 I find a clerical error(s) exist(s) in the Opinion and Order Filed August 21, 2023, in the above-styled claim. On Page 3, Paragraph 2, Line 3, under the heading, “STATEMENT OF THE CASE” (and possibly elsewhere) of the Opinion and Order Filed August 21, 2023, I wrote the claimant testified he had received, “...a dishonorable discharge after his second stint of service for being absent without leave (AWOL).” The term “dishonorable discharge” is incorrect, and shall be corrected to the term, “other-than-honorable discharge.” Therefore, the aforementioned phrase should properly read, “...an other-than-honorable discharge after his second stint of service for being absent without leave (AWOL).” Ark. Code Ann. §11-9-713(d) (2020 Lexis Replacement) authorizes me to correct clerical errors in such circumstances. This is a proper case for the exercise of that authority. Therefore, the Opinion and Order Filed August 21, 2023, hereby is modified and amended only to correct the aforementioned inadvertent clerical error on Page 3, Paragraph 2, Line 3, and anywhere else it may appear in the Opinion and Order Filed August 21, 2023.

Michael Stroud, AWCC No. H202787 In all other respects – including but not limited to the “FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW” section – the Opinion and Order filed October August 21, 2023, shall remain the same and shall not otherwise be altered, amended, or affected in any way. IT IS SO ORDERED. ______________________________________ Mike Pickens Administrative Law Judge Entered Nunc Pro Tunc: September 7, 2023
