 ORDER OF DEFAULT



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



 Petitioner did not pay the full required fee for the filing of the petition. See TTR 223. As

 such, the appeal is not properly pending. See TTR 225. Petitioner must pay the

 additional fee amount required for the filing of the petition within 14 days of the entry of

 this order. Tribunal rules and information on filing fees 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.1



 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).
