MTT Docket No. 26-003830

City Of Battle Creek,

Respondent.

ORDER OF DEFAULT

The Tribunal has reviewed the file in the above-captioned case and finds that:

The petition does not identify an authorized representative in section two; however, the

petition was filed and signed by someone other than the petitioner. Petitioner or the

representative, failed to complete section two of petition. See TTR 279. As such, the

petition is not properly pending. Petitioner must complete the petition by providing all

information required by each applicable section and return the completed petition within

14 days of the entry of this order. The petition shall note the docket number assigned

by the Tribunal and if filed utilizing the Tribunal’s e-filing system, must be filed on the

assigned docket number as an “amended petition.” Small Claims petition forms can be

found on our website at www.michigan.gov/taxtrib.

Furthermore, Petitioner did not submit a copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal (i.e.,

notice of action taken by Board of Review, uncapping notice, PRE denial notice, final

assessment notice, etc.), as required by TTR 279. As such, Petitioner must submit the

notice within 14 days of the entry of this order.

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner is HELD IN DEFAULT.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defaulted party shall cure the default, as indicated

above, within 14 days of the entry of this order.1
