v

 MTT Docket No. 25-002396

City Of Auburn Hills,

Respondent.

ORDER DENYING JOINT STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF CONSENT JUDGMENT

The Tribunal has reviewed the case file and the stipulation, filed on July 23, 2025, and 

finds that: a consent judgment can only be entered if a stipulation is filed after the filing 

of a petition and answer. See TTR 253 and TTR 283. Because no answer has been 

filed in this case, the stipulation cannot be entered at this time and must be denied. 

IT IS ORDERED that the Parties’ Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent Judgment is 

DENIED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this case shall be placed on a Prehearing General Call 

in the normal course of scheduling.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that because this Stipulation for Entry of Consent 

Judgment is no longer pending before the Tribunal, a new stipulation is required for any 

future settlement. However, if the new stipulation is filed within 14 days of the issuance 

of this order, no additional filing fee is required.
