When you refile in the lower court, just indicate somewhere in your filing that the higher court dismissed without prejudice to refile in the lower court, and include a copy of the higher court's order at that time.

I'm in Wayne County, Michigan.... View More

Since the court already ruled in your favor due to the buyer's failure to appear, you may not need to send anything further to the buyer or the court for the review. Typically, after such a ruling, the court will proceed with the forfeiture process.
During the review, the court will... View More
