ORDER OF DISMISSAL

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

default on July 11, 2026, because they did not submit the required petition filing fee. On

August 6, 2026, 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 July 11, 2026, because Petitioner failed to complete

section 18 of the petition and failed to pay the fee required for the filing of the petition.1

Petitioner was required to cure the default by filing a completed amended petition and

paying the fee required for the filing of the petition 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 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 and pay the fee required for the filing of

the petition, (2) file a Motion to Set Aside Default, and (3) pay the $50.00 fee required

for the filing of the motion. 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, sample petition forms, information on filing fees, and a filing fee calculator are

available online at www.michigan.gov/taxtrib.

3 See Grimm v Dep’t of Treasury, 291 Mich App 140 (2010).

4 “A submission by mail is considered filed on the date indicated by the United States Postal Service

postmark on the envelope containing the submission. A submission without a postmark or with an illegible

postmark is considered filed on the date the submission is received by the tribunal. A submission by

commercial delivery service is considered filed on the date the submission is given to the commercial

service for delivery to the tribunal as indicated by the receipt date on the package containing the

submission. A submission by personal service is considered filed on the date the submission is received.

A submission through the tribunal’s e-filing system by 11:59 p.m. on a business day is considered filed on

that business day. A submission by email to the email address designated by the tribunal by 11:59 p.m.

on a business day is considered filed on that business day. A submission on a Saturday, a Sunday, or a

holiday is considered filed on the following business day, as provided by section 35a of the tax tribunal

act, MCL 205.735a.” TTR 225(5).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED the petition shall note the docket number assigned by the 

Tribunal and if filed utilizing the Tribunal’s e-filing system, must be filed on the assigned 

docket number as an “Amended Petition.” Unfortunately, the payment of petition filing 

fee may not be made via e-filing. 

 

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

TTR 237.5

ORDER OF DEFAULT

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

Petitioner failed to complete section 18 of the petition and has also failed to pay the fee

required for the filing of the petition. See TTR 279 and 269. As such, the appeal is not

properly pending. Petitioner must complete the petition by providing all information

required by each applicable section, return the completed petition, and pay the fee

required for the filing of the petition within 14 days of 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 the Tribunal’s 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).
