the $25 payment due to not receiving correspondeance.

Jason C. Grinnell 

 

ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION 

 

ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S FEE WAIVER REQUEST 

 

On November 30, 2024, Petitioner filed a motion requesting that the Tribunal reconsider 

the Order of Dismissal (order) entered in this case on November 26, 2024.1 In the 

motion, Petitioner states they have been unable to upload items to the Tribunal’s e-filing 

system despite support from Tribunal staff. 

 

The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that the Tribunal 

entered orders on September 4, 2024, October 1, 2024, and October 30, 2024, 

requiring Petitioner to comply with deficiencies in the petition and default cure. 

Specifically, the October 30, 2024 order required Petitioner to pay the remaining $25.00 

due in the case and file proof the motion to set aside default was served on Respondent 

as required by Tribunal rules. Petitioner did not respond to that order, resulting in the 

dismissal. Petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration neither paid the additional $25.00 still 

owed from prior to the dismissal nor provided the requisite proof of service. Proof of 

service on December 2, 2024, is not sufficiently clear to establish that service included 

the motion, as it indicates the appeal and additional information was sent. Even if 

Petitioner was unable to utilize the Tribunal’s e-filing system, the fee and documentation 

were permitted to be sent by mail as explained in the October 1, 2024, and October 30, 

2024, orders. Petitioner has not cured the default, and there is no good cause to grant 

the motion. Given the above, Petitioner has failed to demonstrate a palpable error 

relative to the order that misled the Tribunal and the parties and that would have 

resulted in a different disposition if the error was corrected.2 

 

Petitioner also filed a fee waiver request on December 3, 2024. The Tribunal finds that 

denying the fee waiver request is appropriate because Petitioner did not state a valid 

reason supporting a fee waiver request.3 Therefore, 

 

 

1 On December 6, 2024, the Tribunal issued a Notice of No Action because Petitioner did not submit the 

required motion filing fee. Petitioner submitted the motion filing fee

ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT 

 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

 

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

default on September 4, 2024, because Petitioner did not file a petition or pay the 

petition filing fee. Petitioner did not respond, and on October 1, 2024, the Tribunal 

extended the time for the Tribunal to cure the default. On October 1, 2024, Petitioner 

filed a motion to set aside default and paid the motion fee. However, Petitioner did not 

file a petition, pay the petition filing fee, or file proof of service of the motion. On 

October 30, 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 

multiple orders, 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, 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 Petitioner’s Motion to Set Aside Default is DENIED.

ORDER DENYING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT 

 

ORDER OF DISMISSAL 

 

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

default on September 4, 2024, because Petitioner did not file a petition or pay the 

petition filing fee. Petitioner did not respond, and on October 1, 2024, the Tribunal 

extended the time for the Tribunal to cure the default. On October 1, 2024, Petitioner 

filed a motion to set aside default and paid the motion fee. However, Petitioner did not 

file a petition, pay the petition filing fee, or file proof of service of the motion. On 

October 30, 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 

multiple orders, 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, 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,

ORDER HOLDING PETITIONER’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT IN ABEYANCE 

 

ORDER EXTENDING THE TIME FOR PETITIONER TO CURE DEFAULT 

 

On October 1, 2024, Petitioner filed a motion requesting that the Tribunal set aside the 

default entered on September 4, 2024. 

 

Respondent has not filed a response to the motion. 

 

The Tribunal has considered the motion and the case file and finds that Petitioner was 

held in default because it did not pay the full required petition filing fee.1 Petitioner 

failed to cure the default and the Tribunal entered an order extending the time to cure 

on October 1, 2024. Though Petitioner timely responded and filed a motion to set the 

default aside, they failed to pay the filing fee for the motion and file proof evidencing 

service of the motion on Respondent. While Petitioner requests the motion filing fee be 

waived, they have not submitted a Fee Waiver Request Form. As a result, Petitioner’s 

attempt to cure the default is incomplete. While the Tribunal finds one final 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 Petitioner Motion to Set Aside Default is held in ABEYANCE. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the time for Petitioner to cure the default is 

EXTENDED. 

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner must complete the following to cure their 

default: pay the $25.00 motion filing fee and file proof of service of the motion on 

Respondent. The foregoing must be filed with the Tribunal within 14 days of the entry of 

 

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).”

ORDER EXTENDING TIME TO CURE DEFAULT

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

was entered holding a party in default and the defaulted party has failed to timely cure 

that default. However, no history of deliberate delay had been established prior to that 

party being held in default. As such, the defaulted party should be given another 

opportunity to cure the default, as provided by Grimm v Treasury.1 Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner shall cure the default as required by the Order holding 

that party in default and file a Motion to Set Aside Default, with the appropriate filing fee, 

and proof demonstrating service of the Motion on the opposing party, within 14 days of 

the entry of this Order. 2

Failure to cure the default, as required by this Order, will result in the dismissal of the 

case, if Petitioner was held in default, or the conducting of a default hearing, if 

Respondent was held in default.3

ORDER OF DEFAULT

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

Petitioner filed an appeal letter and paid a partial filing fee. See TTR 267. Petitioner is 

required to file a petition and pay the full required filing fee to initiate an appeal with the 

Tribunal. See TTR 261 and 219. Because a petition with the full required filing fee was 

not filed, the appeal is not properly pending. Petitioner must file a petition with the 

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

this Order. The petition shall note the docket number assigned by the Tribunal. Small 

Claims petition forms and 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.i 

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).
