BERRIEN COUNTY TREASURER,
Petitioner-Appellee,
v SC: 153841
COA: 330795
Berrien CC: 2014-000170-CZ
NEW PRODUCTS CORPORATION,
Respondent-Appellant.
_________________________________________/
On order of the Court, the motion for immediate consideration is GRANTED.
The application for leave to appeal the March 2, 2016 order of the Court of Appeals is
considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.305(H)(1), in lieu of granting leave to appeal, we
VACATE that part of the Court of Appeals order granting the motion to dismiss the
appeal, and REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for plenary consideration as on
leave granted of whether MCL 211.78k(7) requires payment of the full amount due for all
tax parcels listed in a judgment of foreclosure as a condition of appeal where the taxpayer
does not seek to challenge the foreclosures for all of the parcels. If the Court of Appeals
concludes that MCL 211.78k(7) does not impose such a requirement, it shall reinstate the
appeal and proceed in accordance with MCR 7.204.
We do not retain jurisdiction.
I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
