STATE OF MICHIGAN GRETCHEN WHITMER GOVERNOR DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATORY AFFAIRS LANSING MARLON I. BROWN, DPA DIRECTOR MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL · 611 W. OTTAWA ST., LANSING, MI 48933 · 517-335-9760 PO BOX 30232, LANSING, MI 48909 · Other Carriers: 2407 N. GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Dameon Fowler, Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 24-003551 City of Detroit, Respondent. ORDER OF DISMISSAL The Tribunal has reviewed the file in the above-captioned case and finds that: The issue in this case was already pending in 24-002514 case and, as such, this appeal is duplicative and shall be dismissed. If this petition was intended to be filed as a Motion for Reconsideration of the dismissal of 24-002514, a motion must be filed in that case. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the case is DISMISSED. This Order resolves all pending issues and closes the case. APPEAL RIGHTS If you disagree with the final decision in this case, you may file a motion for reconsideration with the Tribunal or a claim of appeal with the Michigan Court of Appeals. A motion for reconsideration must be filed with the Tribunal with the required filing fee within 21 days from the date of entry of the final decision. Because the final decision closes the case, the motion cannot be filed through the Tribunal’s web-based e-filing system; it must be filed by mail or personal service. The fee for the filing of such motions is $50.00 in the Entire Tribunal and $25.00 in the Small Claims Division, unless the Small Claims decision relates to the valuation of property and the property had a principal residence exemption of at least 50% at the time the petition was filed or the decision relates to the grant or denial of a poverty or disabled veterans exemption and, if so, there is no filing fee. You are required to serve a copy of the motion on the opposing party by mail or personal service or by email if the opposing party agrees to electronic service, and proof demonstrating that service must be submitted with the motion. Responses to motions for reconsideration are prohibited and there are no oral arguments unless otherwise ordered by the Tribunal.

If the claim is filed within 21 days of the entry of the final decision, it is an “appeal of right.” If the claim is filed more than 21 days after the entry of the final decision, it is an “appeal by leave.” A copy of the claim of appeal must be filed with the Tribunal to certify the record on appeal. There is no certification fee. By:___________________________________ Patricia L.

The reason I never received the questionnaire is because there was an error in my address that was listed in the system. I have been living at this current address for 11 years now. This address has been and still is listed on multiple things of mine such as: driver's license, bank accounts, utility bills, and even vehicle registration. I am unaware of how the address that was listed even got there knowing I have not lived there in well over 15 years. My first appeal was denied stating that I missed the deadline to appeal the questionnaire response. I never received the original PRE Questionnaire, nor the denial, so there was no way possible for me to be able to complete it or request an appeal by any said deadline. I have back tracked the paperwork down myself. you can clearly see that the address listed on the paper is not my current address. Also, the letters were mailed back to the office. I do not feel like I should be penalized for someone else's error. If it were fairly my mistake, and I did something wrong, then I would gladly pay, but I did nothing wrong. I feel like I am being railroaded.
