Petitioner, 

SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION 

 

v 

 

MTT Docket No. 26-002470 

 

Commerce Township, 

 

Presiding Judge 

Respondent.

ORDER GRANTING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT 

 

ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL 

 

On August 4, 2026, Petitioner filed a motion requesting the Tribunal set aside the 

default entered in this case on June 26, 2026. Petitioner also requested a withdrawal of 

their claim regarding Parcel No. E-17-10-476-001. 

 

Respondent has not filed a response to the motion. 

 

The Tribunal has considered the motion and the file in this case and finds that Petitioner 

was held in default because they did not submit a copy of the notice giving rise to the 

appeal and failed to submit a multiple parcel petition form. Petitioner failed to respond 

and the Tribunal entered an order extending the time to cure on July 24, 2026. Having 

now filed the motion to set aside default, filing fee for the motion, the notice giving rise 

to the appeal, and an amended petition indicating only Parcel No. E-17-10-428-032 is at 

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

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

dismiss Petitioner’s claim regarding Parcel No. E-17-10-476-001. 

 

Therefore, 

 

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

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner’s claim regarding Parcel No. E-17-10-476-

001 is DISMISSED. This appeal shall continue for Parcel No. E-17-10-428-032 ONLY.
