Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION 

 

v 

 

MTT Docket No. 25-002594 

 

Mecosta County Drain Commissioner, 

 

Presiding Judge 

Respondent. 

 

Patricia L. Halm 

 

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO WITHDRAW APPEAL 

 

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that a Joint Motion to 

Withdraw Appeal was filed on July 23, 2025. As with the prior Motion to Withdraw, the 

motion was signed by Respondent’s authorized representative on behalf of 

Respondent, and on behalf of Petitioner, “with permission.” Pursuant to TTR 215(1), 

“[i]f a document is required to be signed by these rules, the document must be signed 

by the filing party or, if the party is represented by an attorney or authorized 

representative, by the party or the party’s attorney or authorized representative.”1 

Although the Tribunal generally accepts joint motions signed by one party with the 

“permission” or “concurrence” of the other party, the name of the party for which the 

signature is being signed must, as indicated in the July 23, 2025 order, still be listed on 

the signature line. Further, neither a party nor its authorized representative may 

actually sign a motion or other document on behalf of another party or authorized 

representative. The Tribunal therefore clarifies that the name and/or signature of 

Respondent’s representative should NOT be listed anywhere in Petitioner’s signature 

section of the motion form; the form should list only Petitioner’s name in the printed 

name section and should be signed “/s/ ‘Name of Petitioner with permission.” 

Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that the Motion to Withdraw Appeal is DENIED.
