What this form asks for

The AI fills all of it, from your answers or your documents.

The MC 26 form is a legal notice issued by a Michigan court to inform all parties in a case that no action has been taken for a significant period (91 days). It serves as a warning that the case will be dismissed unless the parties demonstrate progress or provide a valid reason for the delay, making it a critical document for case management. Today, court staff and legal professionals can fill out this form quickly and accurately using AI-powered services like Instafill.ai, which can also convert non-fillable PDF versions into interactive fillable forms.

The AI checks your answers before you download

12 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Case Number Format Validation

This check ensures the 'caseno' field follows the standard Michigan court case number format (e.g., YY-######-XX). A valid case number is critical for uniquely identifying the case within the judicial information system and linking the notice to the correct file. An incorrectly formatted number could lead to processing failure, misfiling of the notice, or delays in the dismissal process.

Judge Name Presence

This validation verifies that the 'judge' field is not empty when a case number is provided. The assigned judge's name is essential for internal court routing, record-keeping, and ensuring the notice is reviewed by the correct judicial officer. If the judge's name is missing, the document may be delayed or rejected by the clerk's office.

Court Telephone Number Format

This check validates that the 'cttelno' field contains a properly formatted 10-digit phone number. A valid phone number is necessary for attorneys and unrepresented parties who may need to contact the court regarding the notice. An invalid or missing number hinders communication and reflects poorly on the document's professionalism and accuracy.

Plaintiff/Petitioner Name Required

This validation ensures the 'pname' field, which identifies the plaintiff or petitioner, is not empty. Identifying the initiating party is a fundamental requirement for any legal notice to be valid. A notice without a plaintiff name is legally insufficient and would be rejected, as it's impossible to determine which case it pertains to.

Defendant Name Required

This check verifies that the 'dname' field, identifying the defendant, is populated. For a legal notice to be effective, the party against whom action is being taken must be clearly named. Omitting the defendant's name renders the notice ambiguous, unenforceable, and invalid under legal due process standards.

Plaintiff's Attorney Bar Number Format

If the 'pattorney' field is filled, this check validates that the attorney's bar number follows the Michigan State Bar format (e.g., P-#####). This confirms the attorney is a licensed member of the bar, which is required for legal representation. An invalid bar number could indicate a data entry error or, in a more serious case, unauthorized practice of law.

What is this 'Notice of Intent to Dismiss for No Progress' form?
This is an official warning from the court that your case is in danger of being dismissed because no action has been taken on it for at least 91 days. It is not a final dismissal, but a notice that you must act soon to keep the case active.
Why did I receive this notice?
You received this notice because you are listed as a party or an attorney in a court case that has been inactive. The court sends this to all involved parties to inform them of the potential dismissal.
What do I need to do after receiving this notice?
To prevent your case from being dismissed, the party seeking relief must show the court that progress is being made. This usually involves filing a motion or scheduling a court event within 28 days of the notice date.
How long do I have to respond?
You have 28 days from the date printed on the notice to take action and demonstrate progress to the court. If no action is taken within this timeframe, the case will be dismissed.
I am the defendant. Do I need to do anything?
Typically, the responsibility to move the case forward lies with the plaintiff. However, you should consult your attorney to determine the best course of action, as you may prefer for the case to be dismissed.
What does this notice mean for my child support case?
If your domestic relations case is dismissed and you receive IV-D child support services, those services will stop 60 days after the dismissal. You must contact the Office of Child Support to discuss continuing services.
What counts as 'showing progress' to the court?
Showing progress involves taking a formal step in the legal process, such as filing a motion, scheduling a deposition, or requesting a hearing. The action must be officially filed with the court to demonstrate the case is not being abandoned.
What happens if my case is dismissed?
If your case is dismissed for no progress, it is closed without a final ruling. You may be able to refile the case, but this could be affected by statutes of limitation, so it is critical to consult an attorney.
Do I need to fill out this form and send it back?
No, this is a notice from the court and does not require you to fill anything out on the form itself. Your response should be a separate legal filing, such as a motion, submitted directly to the court.
Can I ask for an extension on the 28-day deadline?
You would need to file a motion with the court requesting an extension and provide a valid reason for the delay. It is up to the judge to grant or deny such a request.
Can AI tools help me respond to this notice?
Yes, while this notice itself isn't fillable, AI-powered services like Instafill.ai can help you accurately complete the necessary follow-up documents, like a motion or stipulation, to show progress to the court.
How can I use Instafill.ai to prepare the necessary court forms?
Simply upload the blank legal form you need to file to Instafill.ai. The AI-powered platform will help you auto-fill case information, saving you time and reducing the risk of errors on your court documents.
The motion I need to file is a non-fillable PDF. What can I do?
You can use a service like Instafill.ai, which can convert flat, non-fillable PDFs into interactive forms. This allows you to easily type your information into the correct fields before printing and filing.
