BEFORE THE ARKANSAS WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION CLAIM NO. H402766 DONNIE O. GREEN, EMPLOYEE CLAIMANT HAYES TILE & CABINETRY INC., EMPLOYER RESPONDENT STATE NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY/CCMSI/INSURANCE CARRIER RESPONDENT OPINION/ORDER FILED AUGUST 14, 2025 Hearing before ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE JOSEPH C. SELF, in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas. Claimant is pro se and did not appear at the hearing. Respondents are represented by JARROD S. PARRISH, Attorney, Little Rock Arkansas OPINION/ORDER On July 8, 2024, claimant filed Form AR-C, alleging a compensable injury on March 6, 2024. Claimant was represented at the time by Andy L. Caldwell who filed a Motion to Withdraw on March 5, 2025, and was allowed to withdraw on April 3, 2025. On April 14, 2025, respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss, alleging that it had been more than six months since claimant filed his Form AR-C with the Commission, but he had not made a request for a hearing in that time. A hearing on respondent’s Motion to Dismiss was scheduled for August 4, 2025. Notice of the scheduled hearing was sent to claimant by certified mail at the last known address in the Commission’s file. The notice was delivered to claimant on June 14, 2025. Claimant did not respond to respondent’s motion and did not appear in person at the hearing on August 4, 2025. I find it has been more than six months since prior to this hearing and that no request for a

Green-H402766 2 hearing has been made in this file. After my review of the respondent’s motion, the claimant’s lack of response and failure to attend the hearing for the respondent’s motion, as well as all other matters properly before the Commission, I find that respondent’s Motion to Dismiss this claim should be and hereby is granted. This dismissal is pursuant to Commission 11 C.A.R.§25-110(d) and is without prejudice. IT IS SO ORDERED. _______________________________________ JOSEPH C. SELF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE
