OTTAWA ST., LANSING, MI 48933 · 517-335-9760 PO BOX 30232, LANSING, MI 48909 · Other Carriers: 2407 N. GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Robert Ridella, Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 26-002460 City Of Eastpointe, Respondent. ORDER DENYING STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF CONSENT JUDGMENT The Tribunal has reviewed the case file and the Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment filed on September 23, 2026 and finds that the Stipulation was filed with no filing fee. You were, however, required to pay a $25.00 filing fee and submit documentation indicating that the opposing party has been notified of that payment. As such, the Stipulation is not properly pending. Nevertheless, the Tribunal reviewed the Stipulation and finds that under TTR 253, a stipulation must be signed by all parties, if the parties are not represented, or their attorneys or authorized representatives. The instant stipulation has not been agreed to and signed by Petitioner’s authorized representative. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment is DENIED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a hearing in this case shall be scheduled in the normal course. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that because this Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment is no longer pending before the Tribunal, a new stipulation is required for any future settlement. However, if the new stipulation is filed within 14 days of the issuance of this order, no additional filing fee is required. By: /s/ Jason C. Grinnell Entered: September 29, 2026 PROOF OF SERVICE I certify that a copy of the foregoing was sent on the entry date indicated above to the parties or their attorneys or authorized representatives, if any, utilizing either the mailing or email addresses on file, as provided by those parties, attorneys, or authorized representatives.
