OTTAWA ST., LANSING, MI 48933 · 517-335-9760 PO BOX 30232, LANSING, MI 48909 · Other Carriers: 2407 N. GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Cronin Hillsdale Real Estate, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 26-001174 City of Hillsdale, Presiding Judge Respondent. Patricia L. Halm ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR PETITIONER TO CURE DEFAULT ORDER CORRECTING DOCKET The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that it entered an order holding Petitioner in default on September 2, 2026, because Petitioner filed the wrong petition for the issue being appealed and has not paid the full required fee for the filing of the appropriate petition, pursuant to TTR 279 and 269.1 Petitioner was required to cure the default by filing a Small Claims Petition of Valuation Appeal form and paying the additional fee required for the filing of the petition within 14 days.2 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.3 Further, the Tribunal finds that this appeal was filed in the name of Sophia Seime. The documentation filed with the petition indicates, however, that the record owner of the property and proper petitioner in this matter is Cronin Hillsdale Real Estate. The docket should therefore be corrected to reflect the same, with Sophia Seime listed as the authorized representative. The noted error is properly corrected under the misnomer doctrine.4 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 1 The order further stated, “Failure to comply with this order will result in the defaulted party being required to file a motion to set aside the default (with appropriate filing fee).” 2 Tribunal rules, information on filing fees, and a filing fee calculator are available online at https://www.michigan.gov/taxtrib. 3 See Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury, 291 Mich App 140 (2010). 4 See Vanco 1 LLC v Grand Rapids, unpublished per curiam opinion of the Court of Appeals, issued November 18, 2014 (Docket No. 317305).
