STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL · 611 W. OTTAWA ST., LANSING, MI 48933 · 517-335-9760 PO BOX 30232, LANSING, MI 48909 · Other Carriers: 2407 N. GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Michigan Nature Association, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, v MTT Docket No. 24-003370 City of Munising, Presiding Judge Respondent. Patricia L. Halm ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION TO HOLD CASE IN ABEYANCE ORDER REMOVING CASE FROM DECEMBER 1-15, 2025 PREHEARING GENERAL CALL AND ORDER OF PROCEDURE On August 4, 2025, the parties filed a joint motion requesting that the Tribunal hold this case in abeyance pending resolution of Michigan Nature Association v City of Munising, (Docket No. 22-001091), Final Opinion and Judgment issued June 25, 2025, which is currently pending before the Michigan Court of Appeals, Case No. 376401.1 In the motion, the parties state that this case involves the same property and issues as in MTT Docket No. 22-001091, and that “[i]t is likely that resolution of the 2022 Property Tax Appeal by the Michigan Court of Appeals will resolve or otherwise be highly relevant to the issues in this 2023-2024 Property Tax Appeal.” The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that placing this case in abeyance pending resolution of Michigan Nature Association v City of Munising, MTT Docket No. 22-001091, will facilitate the efficient administration of justice, as that resolution may have a direct bearing on the outcome of the instant appeal. Given this, this case is removed from the assigned Prehearing General Call and Order of Procedure. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the Joint Motion to Hold Case in Abeyance is GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall notify the Tribunal in writing within 28 days of the resolution of Michigan Nature Association v City of Munising, MTT Docket No. 22-001091, as to the need for further proceedings in this matter. 1 In their motion, the parties cite MTT Docket No. 22-001100. However, on May 10, 2023, the Tribunal issued an order consolidating that case with MTT Docket No. 22-001091 and ordered future pleadings to refer to the consolidated cases as Docket No. 22-001091.
