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). Before I cure, 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 shott, I specifically discussed this matter with Julie, and she advised that in fact becanse 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, ot 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. J I further respectfully request that before the Tribunal requires my motioning to set aside default as this submission will likely not be viewed or reviewed within the allotted 14- day timeframe to avoid such requirement, that it allow me an additional 14 days after a decision is rendered on this letter submission within which to cute the matter, thus obviating the need for a formal set-aside motion and the cost and time associated theteto. Respectfully,

ORDER OF DEFAULT
The Tribunal has reviewed the file in the above-captioned case and finds that:
Petitioner did not pay the required fee for the filing of the petition. See TTR 267.
Because of this, the appeal is not properly pending. 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 on our website at www.michigan.gov/taxtrib. Unfortunately, the payment
may not be made via e-filing.
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.i
Failure to comply with this Order will result in the defaulted party being required to file a
motion to set aside the default (with appropriate filing fee).
