ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

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

default on October 16, 2024, because they filed the wrong Small Claims petition and did 

not submit a copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal. On November 15, 2024, the 

Tribunal extended the time for Petitioner to cure the default by an additional 14 days 

and they have failed to respond. 

Petitioner has not complied with either order, and the 

latter stated that “failure to comply with this Order shall result in the dismissal of the 

case . . 

.” and referenced Grimm v Dep't of Treasury. 

In Grimm, the, Michigan Court of 

Appeals summarized factors that the Tribunal should consider before imposing the 

sanction: of dismissal. Those factors are: 

(1) whether the violation was wilful or r accidental: (2) the party's history of 

refusing to comply with previous court orders; (3) the prejudice to the 

opposing party; (4) whether there exists a history of deliberate delay; (5) 

the degree 

of compliance: with other parts of the court's. orders; (6) 

attempts to cure the defect; and (7) whether a lesser sanction would better 

serve the interests of justice.? 

Here, Petitioner's failure to comply with multiple orders has established a history of 

deliberate delay. As a result, giving careful consideration to the factors involved and 

considering all options in determining what sanction is just and proper, the Tribunal 

finds that dismissal is appropriate, and a lesser sanction would not be appropriate in 

light of Petitioner's history of noncompliance in this case. 

Therefore, 

IT IS ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED.

ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR PETITIONER TO CURE DEFAULT 

The Tribunal has considered the file in the above-captioned case and finds that it 

entered an order holding Petitioner in default on October 16, 2024.1 Petitioner was 

required to cure the default within 14 days. Petitioner has had ample time to comply, yet 

has failed to respond or submit the required filings. Though the Tribunal finds an 

extension of time to cure the default appropriate, Petitioner’s failure to comply with 

Tribunal orders and its Rules of Practice and Procedure has established a history of 

deliberate delay that would justify dismissal of the case for failure to timely comply with 

this Order.2 Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the time for Petitioner to cure the default is EXTENDED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner must complete the following to cure the 

default: (1) file the documentation and/or petition filing fee required by the October 16, 

2024 default order, (2) file a Motion to Set Aside Default, (3) pay the $25.00 Motion fee, 

and (4) file proof the Motion and a copy of the documentation and/or petition filing fee 

were served on Respondent. The foregoing must be filed with the Tribunal within 14 

days of the entry of this Order.

Failure to comply with this Order may result in dismissal of the case, as provided by 

TTR 231.3
