Lack of progress or repeated failure to follow statute or rule

Rule 27. After a party, the administrative law judge, or the commission serves notice on a party of an alleged deficiency and an opportunity to respond or comply within 10 calendar days, the administrative law judge or the commission may dismiss an appeal or deny a discharge or demotion for a party's lack of progress or for a party's repeated failure to comply with the procedures specified in section 4 of article IV of the act, MCL 38.104, or these rules. A party may file a motion to set aside an order under this rule within 10 calendar days after the issuance of the order. The administrative law judge shall not grant a motion to set aside an order under this rule unless the moving party shows good cause and files an affidavit of facts showing a meritorious claim or defense.
