fee for the filing of the petition within 14 days of the entry of this order. 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).
