ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

 

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

default on August 1, 2025, because Petitioner filing an incomplete petition and failing to 

include a copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal. On August 28, 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 may 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.

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.

ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR PETITIONER TO CURE DEFAULT 

 

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that it entered an order 

holding Petitioner in default on August 1, 2025, because Petitioner failed to complete 

the petition, specifically sections 4, 5, and 6 of the petition, failed to complete and file a 

multiparcel form, and failed to include a copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal (i.e. 

Board of Review ‘BOR’ results).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. Nevertheless, on August 27, 2025, Respondent submited their answer 

to the petition which included a copy of the required BOR results, thus curing that 

portion of the default. 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 the 

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 a completed Petition for Valuation Appeal and multiparcel form, (2) file a 

Motion to Set Aside Default, and (3) file proof the motion was served on Respondent. 

The foregoing must be filed with the Tribunal within 14 days of the entry of this order.3 

 

 

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 “A submission by mail is considered filed on the date indicated by the United States Postal Service 

postmark on the envelope containing the submission. A submission without a postmark or with an illegible 

postmark is considered filed on the date the submission is received by the tribunal. A submission by 

commercial delivery service is considered filed on the date the submission is given to the commercial 

service for delivery to the tribunal as indicated by the receipt date on the package containing the 

submission. A submission by personal service is considered filed on the date the submission is received. 

A submission through the tribunal’s e-filing system by 11:59 p.m. on a business day is considered filed on 

that business day. A submission by email to the email address designated by the tribunal by 11:59 p.m. 

on a business day is considered filed on that business day. A submission on a Saturday, a Sunday, or a 

holiday is considered filed on the following business day, as provided by section 35a of the tax tribunal 

act, MCL 205.735a.” TTR 225(5).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the petition shall note the docket number assigned by the 

Tribunal and if filed utilizing the Tribunal’s e-filing system, must be filed on the assigned 

docket number as an “Amended Petition.” 

 

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

ORDER OF DEFAULT

The Tribunal has reviewed the file in the above-captioned case and finds that:

Petitioner is appealing 11 parcels of property. However, Petitioner failed to properly 

complete the petition and may have failed to pay the full required fee for the filing of the 

petition, did not submit a copy of the notices giving rise to the appeal (i.e., notice of 

action taken by Board of Review, uncapping notice, PRE denial notice, final assessment 

notice, etc.), and did not submit a multiple parcel petition form to provide information 

about all parcels at issue. As such, the appeal is not properly pending. Petitioner must 

complete and return the petition, submit a multi parcel form, and submit all notices 

giving rise to the appeal, and pay the filing fee amount required for the filing of the 

petition, if any, within 14 days of the entry of this order. The petition shall note the 

docket number assigned by the Tribunal. Small Claims petition forms and a filing fee

ORDER OF DEFAULT

The Tribunal has reviewed the file in the above-captioned case and finds that:

Petitioner is appealing 11 parcels of property. However, Petitioner failed to properly 

complete the petition and may have failed to pay the full required fee for the filing of the 

petition, did not submit a copy of the notices giving rise to the appeal (i.e., notice of 

action taken by Board of Review, uncapping notice, PRE denial notice, final assessment 

notice, etc.), and did not submit a multiple parcel petition form to provide information 

about all parcels at issue. As such, the appeal is not properly pending. Petitioner must 

complete and return the petition, submit a multi parcel form, and submit all notices 

giving rise to the appeal, and pay the filing fee amount required for the filing of the 

petition, if any, within 14 days of the entry of this order. The petition shall note the 

docket number assigned by the Tribunal. Small Claims petition forms and a filing fee 

calculator can be found on our website at www.michigan.gov/taxtrib. Unfortunately, the 

payment may not be made via e-filing.

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner is HELD IN DEFAULT.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defaulted party shall cure the default, as indicated 

above, within 14 days of the entry of this order.ii 

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).
