MTT Docket No. 25-003195 

 

City of Detroit, 

 

Presiding Judge 

Respondent.

ORDER GRANTING RESPONDENT’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT 

 

On October 29, 2025, Respondent’s filed a motion requesting the Tribunal set aside the 

default entered in this case on October 1, 2025. 

 

Petitioner has not filed a response to the motion. 

 

The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that Respondent 

was held in default because Respondent failed to file an answer to the petition. 

Respondent failed to respond and the Tribunal entered an order extending the time to 

cure on October 27, 2025. Having now filed an answer, motion to set aside default, 

paid the required motion filing fee, and proof that the motion was served on Petitioner, 

Respondent has complied with the Tribunal’s orders as required by TTR 237. As such, 

the Tribunal finds good cause to grant the motion and set aside the default. Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Respondent’s Motion to Set Aside Default is GRANTED. 

 

 

Entered: December 3, 2025
