OTTAWA ST., LANSING, MI 48933 · 517-335-9760 PO BOX 30232, LANSING, MI 48909 · Other Carriers: 2407 N. GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Stefan Graziano, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 24-003508 Unknown, Presiding Judge Respondent. Patricia L. Halm ORDER HOLDING PETITIONER IN DEFAULT The Tribunal has reviewed the file in this case and finds that Petitioner failed to properly complete the petition filed in this matter on May 31, 2024. Specifically, Petitioner failed to complete Sections 3, 6, and 7 of the petition form. Petitioner also failed to indicate whether the property had a principal residence exemption (PRE) of at least 50% as of the date the petition was filed, and it is therefore unknown whether a fee is required for the filing of the petition. Finally, Petitioner failed to sign the petition, and did not provide a copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal (i.e., notice of action taken by Board of Review, uncapping notice, etc.), as required by TTR 277. As such, the filed petition is defective, and Petitioner is subject to default pursuant to TTR 231. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner is held in DEFAULT. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner must complete the following to cure the default: (1) File a complete, signed petition form, (2) file a copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal, and (3) pay the required filing fee, if any, for the filing of the petition. The foregoing must be filed with the Tribunal within 14 days of the entry of this Order.1 1 “A submission by mail is considered filed on the date indicated by the United States Postal Service postmark on the envelope containing the submission.
