Petitioner, 

SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION 

 

v 

 

MTT Docket No. 25-002686 

 

Richfield Township, 

 

Presiding Judge 

Respondent. 

 

Patricia L. Halm 

 

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT 

 

On October 1, 2025, Petitioner filed a motion requesting the Tribunal set aside the 

default entered in this case on September 2, 2025. Respondent has not filed a 

response to the motion. 

 

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

held in default because Petitioner failed to file a copy of the notice giving rise to the 

appeal, i.e., March Board of Review (MBOR) results. Petitioner failed to respond, and 

the Tribunal entered an order extending the time to cure on September 26, 2025. 

Having now filed a copy of the MBOR results, a Motion to Set Aside Default, and proof 

of service of the motion, Petitioner has complied with the Tribunal’s orders as required 

by TTR 237. As such, the Tribunal finds good cause to grant the motion and set aside 

the default. Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion to Set Aside Default is GRANTED. 

 

 

Entered: November 4, 2025
