Horton Township, 

 

Presiding Judge 

Respondent. 

 

Marcus L. Abood 

 

ORDER DENYING PETITIONERS’ MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION 

 

On December 5, 2024, Petitioners filed a motion requesting that the Tribunal 

reconsider the Order of Dismissal entered in this case the same day.1 In the motion, 

Petitioners state that the Tribunal’s default orders were sent to spam and auto deleted, 

and Petitioners were therefore unaware that they were in default. 

 

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

failed to demonstrate a palpable error relative to the Order of Dismissal that misled the 

Tribunal and the parties and that would have resulted in a different disposition if the 

error was corrected.2 The case was dismissed because Petitioners failed to provide a 

copy of the notice giving rise to the appeal, as required by TTR 277, or timely respond 

to the default orders entered on October 4, 2024 and November 6, 2024. Though 

Petitioners have now responded and provided a copy of the March Board of Review 

(BOR) decision, that decision, along with the other documentation on file, establishes 

that the Tribunal has no authority over Petitioners’ appeal. 

 

Petitioners are seeking a principal residence exemption (“PRE”) for the 2024 tax year. 

Petitioners are not appealing the denial of a PRE by the local taxing authority or other 

authorized agency, however, but rather are attempting to apply directly to the Tribunal 

for the exemption. The BOR decision provided by Petitioners states: “Corrected 

physical attributes; assessor will correct PRE - MBOR does not have jurisdiction PRE 

will be set at the value of the residential property vs commercial. 484,529 VS 132,393 = 

79%.”3 The BOR correctly noted that it lacked authority over the property’s PRE, and 

pursuant to MCL 205.731, the Tribunal’s authority is limited to “a proceeding for direct 

review of a final decision, finding, ruling, determination, or order of an agency relating to 

assessment, valuation, rates, special assessments, allocation, or equalization, under 

the property tax laws of this state.”4 If there is no final decision, finding, ruling, 

determination or order, the Tribunal has no jurisdiction or authority, and “a court which 

 

1 The Tribunal has construed Petitioners’ motion to set aside default as a motion for reconsideration 

because it was postmarked the same day the Order of Dismissal was entered. 

2 See MCR 2.119. 

3 Id. Emphasis added. 

4 MCL 205.731(a).

Page 2

MTT Docket No. 24-003649 

Page 2 of 2 

 

has determined that it has no jurisdiction should not proceed further except to dismiss 

the action.”5 Petitioners were required, rather, to file a PRE affidavit with the assessor 

of the local tax collecting unit.6 Therefore, 

 

IT IS ORDERED that Petitioners’ Motion for Reconsideration is DENIED. 

 

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 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 OF DISMISSAL 

 

The Tribunal has considered the file in this case and finds that Petitioners were placed 

in default on October 4, 2024, because Petitioners did not file a copy of the notice giving 

rise to the appeal. On November 6, 2024, the Tribunal extended the time for Petitioners 

to cure the default by an additional 14 days and they have failed to respond. Petitioners 

have 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, Petitioners’ 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 Petitioners’ 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.

v 

MTT Docket No. 24-003649 

Township Of Horton,

Respondent.

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 04, 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,

MTT Docket No. 24-003649 

Township Of Horton,

Respondent.

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 04, 2024.4 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.5 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 04, 

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 231.6
