ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION 

 

On January 29, 2025, Petitioner filed a motion requesting that the Tribunal reconsider 

the Order of Dismissal (order) entered in this case on January 8, 2025. In the motion, 

Petitioner states that neither Petitioner nor their attorney received a copy of the 

Tribunal’s December 5, 2024 Order Extending Time for Petitioner to Cure Default. 

 

The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that Petitioner has 

not shown good cause to grant the motion. Petitioner’s response at this late juncture is 

wholly insufficient to support a finding that the Tribunal palpably erred in its dismissal. 

Petitioner’s response does not show legal error in the order. Petitioner’s response does 

not address Petitioner’s failure to respond to the November 7, 2024 Order Placing 

Petitioner in Default. Petitioner’s response fails to cure the default because it does not 

include materials previously requested by the Tribunal and of which Petitioner now has 

indisputable notice, including an amended petition, additional required petition filing fee, 

proof of service of the petition under TTR 221, a motion to set aside default, or proof of 

service of a motion to set aside default. 

 

Given the above, Petitioner has failed to demonstrate a palpable error relative to the 

order that misled the Tribunal and the parties and that would have resulted in a different 

disposition if the error was corrected.1 Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration is DENIED. 

 

This Order resolves all pending claims in this matter and closes this case.

1 See MCR 2.119(F)(3). A palpable error is one that is “easily perceptible, plain, obvious, readily visible, 

noticeable, patent, distinct, or manifest.” Luckow v Luckow, 291 Mich App 417, 426 (2011) (quotation 

marks and citation omitted).
