ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

 

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

default on December 11, 2025, because Petitioner filed the wrong petition for the issue 

under appeal and failed to submit a copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal. On 

January 14, 2026, 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 

 

ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL 

 

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

holding Petitioner in default on December 11, 2025, because Petitioner did not file a 

copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal, i.e., July Board of Review (BOR) results, 

and Petitioner filed the wrong petition for the issue under appeal.1 Petitioner was 

required to cure the default by filing a copy of the July BOR results and filing a Petition 

for Poverty Exemption Appeal 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 

 

Further, the Tribunal finds that Petitioner’s appeal includes an appeal of the 

classification of the subject property. The Tribunal has no jurisdiction over Petitioner’s 

classification claim because Petitioner was required to “notify the assessor and [] 

protest the assigned classification to the March board of review.” Additionally, “[a]n 

owner . . . may appeal the decision of the March board of review by filing a petition with 

the state tax commission not later than June 30 in that tax year.”4 As such, the Tribunal 

is not the proper venue for a classification claim brought forward by a property owner. 

 

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

entry of this order.5 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that 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.”
