GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Daniel J Stanuszek, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 24-004172 City of Saginaw, Presiding Judge Respondent. Joshua M. Wease ORDER CORRECTING DOCKET ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION On March 15, 2025, Petitioner filed a motion requesting that the Tribunal reconsider the Order of Dismissal (order) entered in this case on February 7, 2025. In the motion, Petitioner states they qualify for the exemption, and they did not know that Tribunal orders would be served by email. The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that it shall exercise its discretion under TTR 261 to consider Petitioner’s untimely motion. Documents attached to the motion indicate that the petition listed the wrong Respondent, and as a result, it is appropriate to enter an order updating the docket to indicate that Respondent is the entity that denied the exemption. As for the merits of the motion, the Tribunal finds that the motion shall be denied. Petitioner has not shown good cause for their failure to timely respond to multiple Tribunal orders, including the dismissal order. The petition instructions clearly indicate, under the label “IMPORTANT,” that all documentation and orders shall be served on the party by email if an email address is provided. Further, although Petitioner attached documents to the motion, Petitioner still has not submitted a copy of the notice giving rise, which is the denial order issued by Respondent. Petitioner bears the duty in Tribunal proceedings to provide that document.1 Given the above, Petitioner has failed to demonstrate a palpable error relative to the order that misled the Tribunal and the parties and that would have resulted in a different disposition if the error was corrected.2 Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the docket shall be CORRECTED to reflect City of Saginaw as the proper Respondent in this case. 1 TTR 279(3). 2 See MCR 2.119(F)(3). A palpable error is one that is “easily perceptible, plain, obvious, readily visible, noticeable, patent, distinct, or manifest.” Luckow v Luckow, 291 Mich App 417, 426 (2011) (quotation marks and citation omitted).

GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Daniel J Stanuszek, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 24-004172 Saginaw County, Presiding Judge Respondent. Patricia L. Halm ORDER OF DISMISSAL The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that Petitioner was placed in default on December 17, 2024, because Petitioner failed to include a copy of his notice giving rise to the appeal (PRE denial notice). On January 8, 2025, 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.1 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 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.2 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. This Order resolves all pending claims in this matter and closes this case. 1 Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury, 291 Mich App 140 (2010). 2 Id. at 149.

MTT Docket No. 24-004172 Page 2 of 2 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. Alternatively, you may file a claim of appeal with the Michigan Court of Appeals. 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.

OTTAWA ST., LANSING, MI 48933 · 517-335-9760 PO BOX 30232, LANSING, MI 48909 · Other Carriers: 2407 N. GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Daniel J Stanuszek, Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 24-004172 County Of Saginaw, Respondent. 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 December 17, 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 December 17, 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 By:___________________________________ Patricia L. Halm, Tribunal Chair Entered: January 8, 2025 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 See Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury, 291 Mich App 140 (2010). 3 See also MCL 205.732.

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.5 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 December 17, 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 231.6 By:___________________________________ Patricia L. Halm, Tribunal Chair Entered: January 8, 2025 4 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).” 5 See Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury, 291 Mich App 140 (2010). 6 See also MCL 205.732.
