Docket No. 24-003480 _____________________________________________________________________________/ LAURA M. HALLAHAN (P42101) SETH A. O’LOUGHLIN (P80257) KELSEA M. MELCHER (P85821) HALLAHAN & ASSOCIATES, P.C. Attorneys for Petitioner 1750 S. Telegraph Road, Suite 202 Bloomfield Hills, MI 48302 (248) 731-3089 JEREMY J. ROMER (P77287) CITY OF DEARBORN Attorney for Respondent 16901 Michigan Avenue, Suite 14 Dearborn, MI 48126 (313) 943-2035 _____________________________________________________________________________/ JOINT MOTION TO TRANSFER APPEAL TO ENTIRE TRIBUNAL DIVISION Petitioner and Respondent, by and through their respective attorneys, state the following in support of the above captioned Motion: 1. The above captioned appeal involves one parcel of commercial property. The taxable value for this parcel for the 2024 tax year as established by Respondent’s Board of Review exceeded $1.2 million. 2. The appeal is currently pending in the small claims division where it was originally filed. 3. The parties have discussed the appeal since its filing, and the retention of new counsel for Petitioner, and believe it would be more appropriate to have the case proceed in the entire tribunal division for several reasons.
Page 2
2 4. To begin, placing the case in the entire tribunal division would allow for more efficient discovery between the parties. The conduction of which may assist the parties in reaching an amicable resolution to the above captioned appeal. 5. Second, the preparation of valuation disclosures and the conduction of an entire tribunal hearing, if necessary, should provide the parties with sufficient opportunity to present expert witness testimony regarding the value of each parcel at issue and, consequently, provide the Tribunal with the evidence it needs to make an independent determination of value. An opportunity that would be impaired if the parties were constrained to a 30-minute hearing. 6. Finally, the above captioned appeal should be moved to the entire tribunal division as it appears that the parties’ final contentions of taxable value in dispute will likely exceed $100,000—depriving the small claims division of jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to TTR 263 and MCL 205.762. 7. The total taxable value in dispute as identified in Petitioner’s Petition is indicated to be $100,000—the maximum taxable value disparity the small claims division possesses jurisdiction to hear. Petitioner’s recently retained legal counsel further believes Petitioner’s contentions of value as set forth in its Petition may be overstated—resulting in further disparity in the parties’ taxable value contentions. Accordingly, the above captioned appeal should be moved to the Entire Tribunal at this stage of the proceedings to ensure that the parties, as well as the Tribunal, do not incur time and expense adjudicating this matter only for the small claims division to be left without jurisdiction to issue a final decision and requiring the above captioned appeal be moved to the entire tribunal division at the eleventh hour. 8. TTR 273(1) allows for the requested relief and no hearing notice has been issued in the case. As Respondent has not filed an Answer, no costs have been incurred to Respondent in
Page 3
3 that respect furthering demonstrating the efficiency and practicality of a transfer at this stage of the proceedings. 9. In short, the parties believe that transferring the case to the entire tribunal division is in the interest of the efficient administration of justice, will aid the parties and the Tribunal, and will aid in the efficient handling of the case. There is good cause to grant the requested relief. WHEREFORE, the parties jointly request that this Honorable Tribunal enter an Order: A. Granting the parties’ Joint Motion to Transfer and reassign the above captioned matter to the Entire Tribunal Division; B. Requiring Petitioner file an Entire Tribunal Petition, proof of service, as well as pay the applicable difference in the required filing fee within 14 days of the Order; and C. Affirming that no costs be awarded to Respondent as part of the transfer. Respectfully Submitted, By:_/s/ Laura M. Hallahan________ LAURA M. HALLAHAN (P42101) SETH A. O’LOUGHLIN (P80257) KELSEA M.
