BEFORE THE ARKANSAS WORKERS’ COMPENSATION COMMISSION CLAIM NO. H406641 CHRISTOPHER PERRIN, EMPLOYEE CLAIMANT WAYNE SANDERSON FARMS, EMPLOYER RESPONDENT BROADSPIRE SERVICES/INSURANCE CARRIER RESPONDENT OPINION/ORDER FILED AUGUST 7, 2025 Hearing before ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE JOSEPH C. SELF, in Russellville, Pope County, Arkansas. Claimant is represented by EVELYN E. BROOKS, Attorney, Fayetteville, Arkansas. Respondents are represented by ELLI ARCHBOLD, Attorney, Fayetteville, Arkansas and ROBERT MITCHALS, Attorney, Fayetteville, Arkansas OPINION/ORDER On October 30, 2024, claimant filed Form AR-C, alleging a compensable injury on September 29, 2024. Claimant was represented at the time by Evelyn E. Brooks, who remains his attorney of record. On May 13, 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. Claimant’s attorney advised the Commission she would not attend the hearing. A hearing on respondent’s Motion to Dismiss was scheduled for July 28, 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 13, 2025. Claimant did not respond to respondent’s motion and did not appear in person at the hearing on July 28, 2025. I find it has been more than six months since prior to this hearing and that no request for a
Perrin-H406641 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 Rule 099.13 and is without prejudice. IT IS SO ORDERED. _______________________________________ JOSEPH C. SELF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE
