ORDER VACATING SEPTEMBER 3, 2025 ORDER EXTENDING PETITIONER’S 

DEFAULT 

 

REISSUED ORDER HOLDING PETITIONER IN DEFAULT 

 

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that it entered an order 

holding Petitioner in default on August 6, 2025, for failing to pay the required petition 

filing fee. Petitioner failed to respond and on September 3, 2025, the Tribunal issued an 

order extending the time for Petitioner to cure the default by an additional 14 days. 

However, the Tribunal failed to properly serve these orders, as the Tribunal had the 

wrong email address listed on the docket for Petitioner’s representative, thus preventing 

Petitioner’s representative from being properly notified of the default. 

Consequently, the Tribunal finds it appropriate to reissue the Order of Default, 

specifically requiring Petitioner to pay the required petition filing fee, and vacate the 

Order Extending Petitioner’s Default. Petitioner must pay the required fee for the filing 

of the petition within 14 days of the entry of this order. A filing fee calculator can be 

found online at www.michigan.gov/taxtrib. Therefore, 

IT IS ORDERED that the September 3, 2025 Order Extending Petitioner’s Default is 

VACATED. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the August 6, 2025 Order of Default is REISSUED. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner must complete the following to cure the 

default: pay the fee required for the filing of the petition. Unfortunately, the payment of 

the filing fee cannot be made via e-filing. The foregoing must be filed with the Tribunal 

within 14 days of the entry of this order. 

 

Failure to comply with this order will result in Petitioner being required to file a motion to 

set aside the default, with the appropriate filing fee.
