STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL · 611 W. OTTAWA ST., LANSING, MI 48933 · 517-335-9760 PO BOX 30232, LANSING, MI 48909 · Other Carriers: 2407 N. GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Jessica Hanna, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 24-003906 Almont Township, Presiding Judge Respondent. Patricia L. Halm ORDER UPDATING DOCKET ORDER OF DISMISSAL The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that the Department of Treasury filed documentation on October 21, 2024, indicating that it is not the proper Respondent in this case. As such, there is good cause to update the docket and remove Treasury as a party to this appeal. The Tribunal further finds that Petitioner filed the Petition in this appeal on August 20, 2024. However, the property, tax year, and legal issue raised in the Petition are identical to those already pending in MTT Docket No. 24-000295. In MTT Docket No. 24-000295, Almont Township is the Respondent, and it is the taxing entity that denied the principal residence exemption claimed by Petitioner for the subject property.1 As such, this case shall be dismissed as duplicative. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the docket is UPDATED as indicated above. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED. This Order resolves all pending claims in this matter and closes this case. APPEAL RIGHTS If you disagree with the final decision in this case, you may file a motion for reconsideration with the Tribunal or a claim of appeal with the Michigan Court of Appeals. A motion for reconsideration must be filed with the Tribunal with the required filing fee within 21 days from the date of entry of the final decision. Because the final decision closes the case, the motion cannot be filed through the Tribunal’s web-based e-filing system; it must be filed by mail or personal service. The fee for the filing of such motions is $50.00 in the Entire Tribunal and $25.00 in the Small Claims Division, unless 1 MTT Docket No. 24-000295 is scheduled for hearing on December 11, 2024.

MTT Docket No. 24-003906 Page 2 of 2 the Small Claims decision relates to the valuation of property and the property had a principal residence exemption of at least 50% at the time the petition was filed or the decision relates to the grant or denial of a poverty or disabled veterans exemption and, if so, there is no filing fee. You are required to serve a copy of the motion on the opposing party by mail or personal service or by email if the opposing party agrees to electronic service, and proof demonstrating that service must be submitted with the motion. Responses to motions for reconsideration are prohibited and there are no oral arguments unless otherwise ordered by the Tribunal. Alternatively, you may file a claim of appeal with the Michigan Court of Appeals. If the claim is filed within 21 days of the entry of the final decision, it is an “appeal of right.” If the claim is filed more than 21 days after the entry of the final decision, it is an “appeal by leave.” A copy of the claim of appeal must be filed with the Tribunal to certify the record on appeal. There is no certification fee.
