ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

 

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

default on October 7, 2025, because Petitioner failed to complete the petition and failed 

to include a copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal, i.e., March Board of Review 

results. On November 5, 2025, 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 

 

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

holding Petitioner in default on October 7, 2025, because Petitioner failed to complete 

the petition, specifically section 3, and failed to file a copy of the notice giving rise to the 

appeal, i.e., March Board of Review (BOR) results .1 Petitioner was required to cure the 

default by filing a completed amended petition and obtain a copy of the March BOR 

results from Respondent and file a copy with 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 the dismissal 

of the case for failure to timely comply with this order.3 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 completed amended petition, specifically completeing section 3, (2) file 

a copy of the March BOR results, (3) file a Motion to Set Aside Default, and (4) file proof 

the motion was served on Respondent. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petition shall note the docket number previously 

assigned by the Tribunal, and if filing utilizing the Tribunal’s e-filing system, file as an 

“Amended Petition.” 

 

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 and information on filing fees can be found online at www.michigan.gov/taxtrib.

ORDER OF DEFAULT

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

Petitioner did not submit a copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal (i.e., notice of 

action taken by Board of Review, uncapping notice, PRE denial notice, final assessment 

notice, etc.), as required by TTR 279. As such, Petitioner must submit the notice within 

14 days of the entry of this order. 

Petitioner failed to complete section(s) three of petition. See TTR 279. As such, the 

petition is not properly pending. Petitioner must complete the petition by providing all

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner is HELD IN DEFAULT.

above, within 14 days of the entry of this order.i 

Failure to comply with this order will result in the defaulted party being required to file a

ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL

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

is appealing assessments for prior tax years and the Tribunal has no authority over 

those assessments under MCL 205.735a, as the petition was not timely filed.1 Further, 

the Tribunal also has no authority over those assessments, as the facts alleged do not 

establish that the assessments were the result of a clerical error (i.e., “an error of a 

transpositional, typographical, or mathematical nature”) or a mutual mistake of fact (i.e., 

“an erroneous belief, which is shared and relied on by both parties”).2 Rather, the facts 

alleged indicate a valuation dispute that does not involve the correction of a clerical 

error or mutual mistake of fact. Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner’s assessment appeal is PARTIALLY DISMISSED. The 

appeal shall continue for the 2025 tax year(s) only.
