Petitioner, 

SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION 

v 

MTT Docket No. 24-003837 

City of Detroit, 

Presiding Judge 

Respondent. 

Patricia L. Halm 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that Petitioner was placed in 

default on October 16, 2024, because they did not submit a copy of the notice giving 

rise to the appeal. 

On November 15, 2024, the Tribunal extended the time for Petitioner 

to cure the default by an additional 14 days and they have failed to respond. 

Petitioner 

has not complied with either order, and the latter stated that “failure to comply with this 

Order shall result in the dismissal of the case 

. 

. 

.” and referenced Grimm v Dep't of 

Treasury.! 

In Grimm, the Michigan Court of Appeals summarized factors that the 

Tribunal should consider before imposing the sanction of dismissal. Those factors are: 

(1) whether the violation was wilful or accidental; (2) the party's history of 

refusing to comply with previous court orders; (3) the prejudice to the 

opposing party; (4) whether there exists a history of deliberate delay; (5) 

the degree of compliance with other parts of the court's orders; (6) 

attempts to cure the defect; and (7) whether a lesser sanction would better 

serve the interests of justice? 

Here, Petitioner's failure to comply with multiple orders has established a history of 

deliberate delay. As a result, giving careful consideration to the factors involved and 

considering all options in determining what sanction is just and proper, the Tribunal 

finds that dismissal is appropriate, and a lesser sanction would not be appropriate in 

light of Petitioner's history of noncompliance in this case. 

Therefore, 

IT IS ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED.

APPEAL RIGHTS 

If you disagree with the final decision in this case, you may file a motion for 

reconsideration with the Tribunal or a claim of appeal with the Michigan Court of 

Appeals. 

A motion for reconsideration must be filed with the Tribunal with the required filing fee 

within 21 days from the date of entry of the final decision. Because the final decision 

closes the case, the motion cannot be filed through the Tribunal's web-based e-filing 

system: it must be filed by mail or personal service. The fee for the filing of such 

motions is $50.00 in the Entire Tribunal and $25.00 in the Small Claims Division, unless 

the Small Claims decision relates to the valuation of property and the property had a 

principal residence exemption of at least 50% at the time the petition was filed or the 

decision relates to the grant or denial of a poverty or disabled veterans exemption and, 

if so, there is no filing fee. You are required to serve a copy of the motion on the 

opposing party by mail or personal service or by email if the opposing party agrees to 

electronic service, and proof demonstrating that service must be submitted with the 

motion. Responses to motions for reconsideration are prohibited and there are no oral 

arguments unless otherwise ordered by the Tribunal. 

Alternatively, you may file a claim of appeal with the Michigan Court of Appeals. 

If the 

claim is filed within 21 days of the entry of the final decision, 

it is an “appeal of right.” 

If 

the claim is filed more than 21 days after the entry of the final decision, 

it is an “appeal 

by leave.” A copy of the claim of appeal must be filed with the Tribunal to certify the 

record on appeal. There is no certification fee.
