GRAND RIVER AVE., LANSING, MI 48906 Kenneth W Williams, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL Petitioner, SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION v MTT Docket No. 26-002283 Almira Township, Presiding Judge Respondent. Patricia L. Halm ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR RESPONDENT TO CURE DEFAULT The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that it entered an order holding Respondent in default on August 28, 2026, because they failed to file an answer.1 Respondent was required to cure the default by filing an answer within 14 days.2 Respondent 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, Respondent’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 scheduling of a default hearing for failure to timely comply with this order.3 Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the time for Respondent to cure the default is EXTENDED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondent must complete the following to cure the default: (1) file an answer, (2) file a Motion to Set Aside Default, and (3) file proof the motion was served on Petitioner. The foregoing must be filed with the Tribunal within 14 days of the entry of this order.4 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 A list of Tribunal rules and Small Claims answer forms are available online at www.michigan.gov 3 See Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury, 291 Mich App 140 (2010). 4 “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).
