ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

 

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

default on October 30, 2024, because Petitioner did not submit a copy of the notice 

giving rise to the appeal as required by Tribunal rules. On November 26, 2024, 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 shall 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, considering 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.

MTT Docket No. 24-003405 

City Of Troy,

ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR PETITIONER TO CURE DEFAULT 

The Tribunal has considered the file in the above-captioned case and finds that it 

entered an order holding Petitioner in default on October 30, 2024.1 Petitioner was 

required to cure the default within 14 days. 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.2 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 the documentation and/or petition filing fee required by the October 30, 

2024 default order, (2) file a Motion to Set Aside Default, (3) pay the $25.00 Motion fee, 

and (4) file proof the Motion and a copy of the documentation and/or petition filing fee 

were served on Respondent. The foregoing must be filed with the Tribunal within 14 

days of the entry of this Order.

Failure to comply with this Order may result in dismissal of the case, as provided by 

TTR 231.3

I bought the property in October 2014 and decided to transfer it to my parents' name in 2021. However, as of today, the property is registered in both my parents' and 

my names. Since purchasing it, this property has always been my primary residence. When I went to the assessor's office in Troy to address this, the lady there 

immediately made the changes without hearing my side of the story. Despite my attempts to explain that the property had always been my primary residence, she 

disregarded my input because the property was in my parents' name, even though their primary residence is in Florida. I urge you to vote in my favor and lower the 

property taxes to their previous level. I cannot afford an increase in property taxes as I have been unemployed for the past year, and finding a job has been 

challenging. I would greatly appreciate your help, THANK YOU

Section 4: Check which of the following you are appealing

Principal Residence Exemption

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

I bought the property in October 2014 and decided to transfer it to my parents' name in 2021. However, as of today, the property is registered in both my parents' and 

my names. Since purchasing it, this property has always been my primary residence. When I went to the assessor's office in Troy to address this, the lady there 

immediately made the changes without hearing my side of the story. Despite my attempts to explain that the property had always been my primary residence, she 

disregarded my input because the property was in my parents' name, even though their primary residence is in Florida. I urge you to vote in my favor and lower the 

property taxes to their previous level. I cannot afford an increase in property taxes as I have been unemployed for the past year, and finding a job has been 

challenging. I would greatly appreciate your help, THANK YOU
