SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION 

 

v 

 

MTT Docket No. 25-002486 

 

City of Ferndale, 

 

Presiding Judge 

Respondent. 

 

Marcus L. Abood 

 

ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION 

 

On October 15, 2025, Petitioner filed a motion requesting that the Tribunal reconsider 

the Order of Dismissal entered in this case on October 9, 2025. In the motion, 

Petitioner states that all emails were going to their junk folder. Petitioner apologizes for 

their carelessness. 

 

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

failed to demonstrate a palpable error relative to the Order of Dismissal that misled the 

Tribunal and the parties and that would have resulted in a different disposition if the 

error was corrected.1 The Tribunal’s orders were properly sent to Petitioner at their 

email address of record, and the parties are responsible for ensuring receipt of all 

correspondence.2 Petitioner failed to comply with the Tribunal’s rules and orders, and 

dismissal of the case was therefore proper pursuant to TTR 237 and Grimm v Dep’t of 

Treasury.3 Moreover, Petitioner still has not submitted the required documentation or 

otherwise complied with the Tribunal’s orders.4 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.
