Michelle Denise Beverly, 

Petitioner, MICHIGAN TAX TRIBUNAL

 SMALL CLAIMS DIVISION

v 

 MTT Docket No. 25-003866

City Of Lathrup Village,

Respondent.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

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

Petitioner has filed a Motion to Withdraw the Petition and Respondent has not filed an 

objection to the requested withdrawal. 

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.

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

Page 2

MTT Docket No. 25-003866

Page 2 of 6

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.

NOTICE OF FILING

TAKE NOTICE that a Small Claims answer has been filed and the electronic copy of the 

answer can be reviewed by utilizing the Docket Lookup on the Tribunal’s website. 

Unless Respondent was defaulted, this case is ready to be scheduled for a Small 

Claims hearing and will be scheduled in the normal course of scheduling. You will 

receive a Notice of Hearing from the Tribunal by e-mail if you have identified an email 

address in the petition or other documentation. The Notice of Hearing will inform you of 

the date, time, and location of your hearing (note that your hearing will likely be 

conducted by telephone). Please read the Notice of Hearing as it includes important 

information.

EVIDENCE: Parties are required to submit all evidence to the Tribunal and send a copy 

to the opposing party at least 21 days before the hearing date even if the documents 

had been submitted to the local Board of Review or the Michigan Department of 

Treasury. If the documents are not timely submitted to the Tribunal and served on the 

opposing party, the documents may be excluded. Documents may be filed with the 

Tribunal by mail or through the Tribunal’s e-filing system. Documents may be sent to the 

opposing party by mail or by e-mail, if the parties agree to service by e-mail.

Users who file documents with the Michigan Tax Tribunal are advised that filed 

documents are public records and will appear for public viewing on the Tax 

Docket Lookup. Users who file documents are responsible for ensuring sensitive or 

personal identifying information is withheld or redacted. See TTR 209. If a user wishes 

to file a document for consideration by the Michigan Tax Tribunal and prevent its 

publication on the Tax Docket Lookup, the user MUST file a Motion for Protective Order 

under MCR 2.302(C)(8). If a Protective Order is issued, documents covered by the 

Order will not be published. Documents filed prior to the issuance of a Protective Order 

will be published.

The responsibility for excluding or redacting personal identifying information (PII) from 

all documents filed with or offered to the Tribunal rests solely with the parties and 

their attorneys. The Tribunal is not responsible for or required to review, redact, or 

screen documents at the time of filing for PII whether filed electronically or on paper. A 

party, representative, or interested person (i.e. third party not part of an appeal) may 

request that the Tribunal redact PII contained in a previously-filed document by

Page 2

MTT Docket No. 25-003866

Page 2 of 6

submitting a Request for Redactions. The Request for Redactions form will be 

available on the Entire Tribunal and Small Claims pages of our website. 

Alternate Dispute Resolution Options

INFORMAL SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE: Parties have the option of handling this 

case through an informal settlement conference. An informal settlement conference 

is a meeting between the parties and/or their representatives to discuss the issues in a 

case in an effort to settle the case. This process may be an alternative to a hearing with 

a judge and may result in the parties’ filing a Joint Stipulation for Entry of Consent 

Judgment. Visit the Tribunal’s ADR webpage for more information.

NOTE: The parties may not request an informal settlement conference to discuss an 

appeal of a principal residence exemption that was denied by either the Michigan 

Department of Treasury or a County. Also, state taxes levied by the Michigan 

Department of Treasury, such as income taxes, are not subject to the informal 

settlement conference process.

MEDIATION: Parties have the option of handling this case through mediation. 

Mediation is a voluntary process where a mediator facilitates communication between 

the parties, assists in identifying issues, and helps explore solutions to promote a

NOTICE OF FILING OF MOTION TO WITHDRAW APPEAL

TAKE NOTICE that Petitioner has filed a Motion to Withdraw (Motion) in the above-

response. Respondent may respond by agreeing to (i.e. concurrence) the withdrawal of 

the case or by objecting to the motion. If Respondent does not timely submit a 

concurrence or objection to the request, it will be deemed to be a concurrence and the 

request will be granted, unless otherwise ordered by the Tribunal. If the request is 

granted, the case will be dismissed. If a request is not granted or the Tribunal has not 

notified you that it has been granted, you are required to attend the hearing.

property was not denied for prior years 2010-2021. The Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) was at 0% due to Petitioner not filing form 2368 timely after their 

purchase on October 5, 2010.

Respondent requests that Petitioner's Petition be dismissed with prejudice due to lack of jurisdiction.

ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR PETITIONER TO CURE DEFAULT 

 

ORDER HOLDING RESPONDENT IN DEFAULT 

 

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

holding Petitioner in default on December 17, 2025, because Petitioner failed to file a 

copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal, i.e., Principal Residence Exemption (PRE) 

denial.1 Petitioner was required to cure the default by obtaining a copy of PRE denial 

from Respondent and then submitting a copy to the Tribunal 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 

 

Additionally, the Tribunal finds that Respondent has failed to file an answer. See TTR 

281. Respondent must file an answer within 14 days of the entry of this order. Tribunal 

rules and Small Claims answer forms can be found on our website at 

www.michigan.gov/taxtrib. 

 

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 copy of the PRE denial, (2) file a Motion to Set Aside Default, (3) pay 

the required $25.00 fee for the filing of the motion, and (4) 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.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 can be found online at www.michigan.gov/taxtrib. 

3 See Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury, 291 Mich App 140 (2010).
