Rule 25. (1) A party may move that the administrative law judge enter summary  
disposition on all or any part of a claim of appeal. The motion must identify which of the  
following grounds supports the motion:  
(a) The appellant has failed to state a claim on which the commission can grant the  
requested relief.  
(b) The controlling board has failed to state a valid defense.  
(c) There is no genuine issue as to a material fact except as to the relief and the  
moving party has the right to judgment as a matter of law.  
(d) The commission lacks jurisdiction of the subject matter.  
(e) The claim of appeal is untimely.  
(f) The claim of appeal cannot proceed because of some other disability of the  
appellant or other disposition of the claim.

for summary disposition is under subrule (1)(a) or (b) of this rule.  
(3) A party filing a motion based on subrule (1)(c) of this rule shall file supporting  
affidavits, depositions, admissions, or other documentary evidence and the motion must  
specifically identify the issues as to which the moving party believes there is no genuine  
issue of material fact. When considering a motion under subrule (1)(c) of this rule, the  
administrative law judge shall consider the supporting documents and the pleadings,  
depositions, admissions, and documentary evidence then filed in the action or submitted  
by the parties. If a party makes a motion under subrule (1)(c) of this rule and supports the  
motion as provided in this subrule, an adverse party may not rest on the mere allegations  
or denials of the adverse party’s pleadings but shall, by affidavits, depositions,  
admissions, or other documentary evidence, set forth specific facts showing that there is a  
genuine issue for hearing. If the adverse party does not respond as required by this  
subrule, the administrative law judge shall enter summary disposition, if appropriate. The  
administrative law judge shall enter summary disposition if the pleadings show a party’s  
entitlement to summary disposition as a matter of law or if the affidavits or other proof  
shows that there is no genuine issue of fact. If it appears that the opposing party, rather  
than the moving party, has the right to summary disposition, the administrative law judge  
may enter summary disposition in the opposing party's favor without a motion.  
(4) The administrative law judge may order an immediate hearing on disputed  
questions of fact and enter summary disposition if the proofs show that the moving party  
has the right to summary disposition or the administrative law judge may postpone the  
hearing on the motion until the hearing on the claim of appeal.  
(5) If a motion for summary disposition is under subrule (1)(a), (b), or (c) of this  
rule, the administrative law judge shall give the parties an opportunity to amend the  
parties’ pleadings unless the evidence before the administrative law judge shows that  
amendment would be futile.
