Michigan Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the CourtMackenzie, P.J.

Plaintiff was dismissed as an elementary school principal, allegedly because of defendants’ interference. This lawsuit followed. The matter went to mediation and resulted in the mediation panel’s determination that plaintiff’s complaint was frivolous. Plaintiff rejected the mediators’ evaluation and chose to proceed to trial. The trial court subsequently dismissed the action with prejudice because plaintiff failed to post the bond required under MCR 2.403(N)(1) after the mediation panel found her complaint was frivolous. Plaintiff appeals as of right. We reverse and remand.
