I don't think MCL 15.243 protects you here. You're requesting a copy of a report made upon your complaint. If this relates to a criminal allegation, I don't see how you could remain anonymous, unless you reported this through Silent Observer.

A Pro Se complaint was filed. The clerk stated that documents are scanned, she would stamp them and give them back. She did not give them back. How should the Plaintiff had handled that situation?

Judicial misconduct? No. Are you referring to the return of exhibits attached to a complaint? Generally, you should only submit things to a court with the understanding they will become part of the public file and shared with the opposing party / counsel, and not be returned.
The Licensing and Regulatory Affairs claimed to have closed the case citing no violation found under the Occupational Health Code. However, the violations in the complaint involve the Public Health Code, MCL 333.2843 et seq. and criminal activities. Knowingly falsity in causing a death certificate... View More

It's LARA's duty to investigate the allegations you made against a licensed person. Beyond that, you have no standing or grounds to cause LARA to do anything. What they do with the results of their investigation is between the agency and the licensee.
The morgue claims to have taken the body from the hospital, however their records state the body was at the morgue the following day.
answered on Oct 7, 2024
Do you have an exact timeline? It would not be uncommon for the transfer to have occurred in the overnight hours, or for the hospital to have kept the body until the next day. I'm unsure where else the body would have been transferred to between the hospital and morgue except maybe an off-site... View More

Unless you are in federal custody facing a federal charge, that statute you cite is of no use to you. What sort of court date did you miss? Unless it was a trial date or a preliminary examination date, there's probably not much in way of remedy for this.
Under 42 USC § 1983 for mishandling deceased remains/ bodies and manipulating records.
answered on Jun 24, 2024
Unlikely. A successful 1983 claim would need to establish that a government agency or its actors deprived YOU of a Constitutionally protected right; that's not the same thing as their actions simply violating a law as might be the case with simple negligence.
