COURT OF APPEALS
LEUWANIA BYGRAVE,
UNPUBLISHED
Plaintiff-Appellant/Cross-Appellee,
v
No. 196949
Oakland Circuit Court
LC No. 95-494181 CK
STANLEY R. VAN REKEN and HARRIET E.
VAN REKEN,
Defendants-Appellees/CrossAppellants,
and
BANNER REALTY & INVESTMENT and JOHN
E. MCCAUSLIN,
Defendants-Appellees.
Before: McDonald, P.J., and O’Connell and Smolenski, JJ.
McDONALD, P.J. (dissenting).
I would affirm the trial court’s order granting defendant’s motion for summary disposition and
dismissal of plaintiff’s first amended complaint on the ground that plaintiff’s failure to pursue the issues in
the prior district court summary proceedings barred her claims. Sprauge v Buhagiar, 213 Mich App
310; 539 NW2d 587 (1995).
The plaintiff should have appealed the district court’s decision refusing to hear plaintiff’s
affirmative defenses. Plaintiff was not denied due process of law because she had a right to appeal to
circuit court.
/s/ Gary R. McDonald
