POLTER LAW GROUP RECEIVED LICENSED IN MICHIGAN AND NEW YORK NOV 0 7 2024 MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL November 4, 2024 SOM — MTT POB 30232 Lansing, MI 48909 Re: South Haven, Geneva Twp. — 68 St. (SC Division) Docket #s: 24-003923, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 41,42 To whom it may concern, Please be advised that I'm in receipt of the above referenced multiple Orders of Default (see copies enclosed). Befote I cute, however, I wish to bring to the Tribunal’s attention the cover letter originally attached with this multiple property tax appeal petition on or about July 22, 2024 (see copy enclosed). In shot, I specifically discussed this matter with Julie, and she advised that in fact because these are contiguous properties, there would no need for separate $125 fees but that so long as 1 remitted the $125 once and then $25 per contiguous property, that would be sufficient to cover the TTR 267 fees accordingly. Before I move ahead and perhaps remit additional fees I must know whether an agent at MTT ignored my cover letter altogether and therefore erroneously issued these Orders of Default, or s /he in fact reviewed my cover letter and still objected to my premise believing that regardless these are still cach due the $125 fee, and if so, I would appreciate the basis for such objection. : I further respectfully request that before the Tribunal requires my motioning to set aside default as this submission will likely not be viewed ot teviewed within the allotted 14-day timeframe to avoid such requirement, that it allow me an additional 14 days attet a decision 1s rendered on this letter submission within which to cure the matter, thus obviating the need for a formal set-aside motion and the cost and time associated thereto. Respectfully,
