BROWN, DPA GOVERNOR LANSING DIRECTOR Bobenal Investments, Inc., MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, v MTT Docket No. 25-002347 City of Alma, Presiding Judge Respondent. Patricia L. Halm CORRECTED ORDER HOLDING PETITIONER IN DEFAULT The Tribunal has reviewed the file in this case and finds that an Order Holding Petitioner in Default was issued on June 10, 2025, because although Petitioner did pay a filing fee, Petitioner failed to pay the full amount due. Petitioner was required to cure the default within 14 days. Upon further investigation, the Tribunal has found that it erred in the entry of this order. The case did not have the correct email address listed on the docket, thus preventing Petitioner from being properly notified of the default. Consequently, the Tribunal finds it is appropriate to reissue the June 10, 2025 Order of Default. Specifically, Petitioner failed to pay the full required fee for the filing of the petition. As such, the petition is not properly pending. Petitioner must pay the remaining $150.00 fee required for the filing of the petition within 14 days of the entry of this order.
