1. This Court’s May 16, 2023 temporary restraining order (“TRO”) was issued on an
ex parte basis resulting from misrepresentations and material omissions made by Plaintiff. The
TRO must be dissolved immediately, and Plaintiff should be sanctioned for its misrepresentations

hearing, within 24 hours, pursuant to MCR 3.310(B)(5), which provides: “A motion to dissolve a
temporary restraining order granted without notice takes precedence over all matters except older
matters of the same character, and may be heard on 24 hours’ notice. For good cause shown, the
filing of this motion, it is Plaintiff’s burden “of justifying continuation of the order. . . .” MCR
3.310(B)(5). Therefore, there is no presumption that the TRO was properly entered. Instead, in
response to this motion, Plaintiff bears the burden of establishing that the TRO should be
continued, meaning that Plaintiff bears the burden of establishing all TRO factors have been met
and a continuing TRO is necessary. For the reasons set forth below, Plaintiff has not and cannot

verified complaint and facts supported by affidavit, so that the Court knows it is relying on

of the purported “emergency” in the hope that the Court would rule, on an ex parte basis, without
appreciating the true nature of this dispute. If Infinity had notice of Plaintiff’s motion and an
opportunity to file a response, the Court would easily see that Plaintiff’s requested ex parte TRO
that was entered by the Court is barred by the facts and law and must now be dissolved. By way

BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF
DEFENDANT’S EMERGENCY MOTION TO DISSOLVE TRO AND FOR
IMMEDIATE HEARING WITHIN 24 HOURS PURSUANT TO MCR 3.310(B)(5)
The May 16, 2023 TRO must be immediately dissolved. It is Plaintiff’s burden to establish
that the TRO should be continued. MCR 3.310(B)(5). Plaintiff cannot meet this burden, as the
TRO only entered based on Plaintiff’s material omissions and misrepresentations. Given
Plaintiff’s conduct, not only should the TRO be dissolved, Plaintiff and its counsel should be
On April 30, 2019, over four years ago, this Court entered a Consent Judgment between
Infinity-Hawthorne Woods, LLC (“Infinity”) and the Charter Township of Huron in the lawsuit
entitled Infinity Hawthorne Woods, LLC v. Charter Township of Huron, Case No. 2018-000579-
CZ (Ex. 1).1 Pursuant to the 2019 Consent Judgment, Infinity was authorized to expand the
existing Hawthorne Woods Condominium project to add 42 units, and the expansion could be
done, in Infinity’s sole discretion, “in any number of phases and site improvements.” (Ex. 1 at p.
8, ¶ 12). The Consent Judgment’s allowance of 42 units are part of Infinity’s Phase II of the
condominium project. Plaintiff, the Homeowner’s Association for the Phase I development, is
seeking to halt Phase II development even though it is expressly authorized by the 2019 Consent
Judgment that remains in full force and effect. This lawsuit and Plaintiff’s Motion for a TRO and
preliminary injunction are frivolous as they ignore that the alleged basis for all claims is precluded
1
The 2019 Consent Judgment resulted from Infinity’s 2018 lawsuit against the Charter Township
of Huron and a court-ordered facilitation. Plaintiff’s Verified Complaint concedes that the 2018
lawsuit between Infinity and the Charter Township of Huron is a prior action that arises out of the
same transaction or occurrence as Plaintiff’s present lawsuit. See Verified Compl., at p. 1.
In addition to the fact that the Consent Judgment expressly authorizes the 42-unit expansion
into Phase II of the development, Plaintiff’s lawsuit and Motion for TRO also ignores the fact that
Phase II is being constructed on property owned by Infinity. In other words, Plaintiff is trying to
stop Infinity from building on its own property. Plaintiff fails to bring this fact to the Court’s
attention. Plaintiff also fails to provide a legal basis which would give Plaintiff a basis to prevent
Infinity from constructing on its own property pursuant to approval by the Township and this
HOWARD & HOWARD ATTORNEYS PLLC
Court.
Ignoring the Consent Judgment and the fact that Plaintiff has no ownership interest in the
property presently under construction, Plaintiff desperately tries to claim that Infinity did not have
the power to record an Amended Site Plan to add the 42 units. However, once again, Defendant
ignores the Consent Judgment that expressly allows the 42 units to be added “in any number of
phases.” Furthermore, at the time Infinity entered into the 2019 Consent Judgment, Infinity owned
more than two-thirds of the units in the condominium project. (Ex. 2, R. Soave Affidavit, at ¶ 4).
As such, Infinity was expressly permitted under the Condominium Act to amend the Master Deed
and condominium documents to allow for the Phase II development. See MCL 559.190(2). In
other words, Infinity had the standing and authority to enter into the 2019 Consent Judgment with
the Charter Township of Huron, and the Consent Judgment complies with the Condominium Act.
as expressly permitted by the 2019 Consent Judgment, there exists no such emergency. Instead,
Plaintiff became aware of the 2019 Consent Judgment by March 2020 at the latest. (Ex. 2, R.
Soave Affidavit, at ¶¶ 5–6). More specifically, Plaintiff (and the co-owners in the condominium
project) learned of the 2019 Consent Judgment and the Phase II development on multiple occasions
and did not file this lawsuit until years later, including the following:

- On March 11, 2020, a meeting occurred between Infinity, Plaintiff, and several

HOWARD & HOWARD ATTORNEYS PLLC
- On March 23, 2021, another meeting occurred between Infinity, Plaintiff, and several
provided additional plans for Phase II at this meeting. The meeting minutes were again
sent to all co-owners following the meeting. (Ex. 2, Affidavit of R. Soave, at ¶ 8; Ex.

(Ex. 2, Affidavit of R. Soave, at ¶ 9) (Ex. 10, Phase II Sign).
- On October 27, 2022, approximately 7 months ago, Plaintiff, through counsel, sent
Infinity and the Charter Township of Huron a letter contending that Plaintiff “has been
made aware” of the 2019 Consent Judgment. (Ex. 9). Despite sending this letter
(which was sent over 2.5 years after Plaintiff became aware of the consent judgment),
Plaintiff did nothing for approximately 7 additional months until filing this lawsuit and
HOWARD & HOWARD ATTORNEYS PLLC
feigning “emergency.”
Inexplicably, Plaintiff fails to inform the Court of the true nature of the purported
“emergency” based on facts Plaintiff knew about since March 2020 at the latest. There is simply
no “emergency,” and certainly none that justified ex parte emergency relief. As explained in more
detail below, this case is frivolous such that Plaintiff has no likelihood of success on the merits.
Plaintiff’s Motion for a TRO and preliminary injunction should be denied in its entirety,
and the May 16, 2023 ex parte TRO must be immediately dissolved, for the following reasons:
First, Plaintiff has not, and cannot, establish a substantial likelihood of prevailing on the
merits. This is because: (1) the 2019 Consent Judgment remains in full force and effect and
precludes the relief requested by Plaintiff in this lawsuit2; (2) Plaintiff does not even bother to try
to explain why or how the Court can ignore the 2019 Consent Judgment; (3) the Phase II
development Infinity is currently clearing trees from is Infinity’s property, not the separate Phase
2
Plaintiff knows that, to obtain the relief it requests, it must first obtain an Order from this Court
setting aside the 2019 Consent Judgment. Plaintiff made this clear in its October 2022 demand
letter to Infinity. (Ex. 9). Yet Plaintiff’s Motion fails to address that Plaintiff has never sought to
intervene in the 2018 lawsuit or to otherwise try to have the 2019 Consent Judgment set aside.
Presumably, Plaintiff did some research and learned that it could not set aside the 2019 Consent
Judgment as waiting over 3 years since it became aware of the Consent Judgment to try to set aside
the Consent Judgment is not “reasonable.” As Plaintiff intentionally failed to follow the proper
procedure to attack the 2019 Consent Judgment, Plaintiff simply chose to ignore the Judgment as
if it did not exist. This Court should not condone such a tactic.

I property; (4) Plaintiff ignores the fact that the property where Phase II is being constructed
belongs to Infinity and Plaintiff fails to provide this Court with any basis that would allow Plaintiff
to interfere with Infinity’s use of its own property in a manner approved by the Court and the
Township and (5) Infinity was authorized to proceed with the 42 units in Phase II pursuant to the
2019 Consent Judgment and amend the Master Deed as more fully set forth above. .
“emergency” is self-created. As explained, Plaintiff has known about the existence of the Consent
Judgment since March 2020 yet delayed filing this frivolous case and a motion for TRO and
preliminary injunction for over three years. Plaintiff also waited approximately 7 additional
months after sending a demand letter to Infinity to file this case on an “emergency” basis without
any explanation why Plaintiff waited if this was truly an “emergency.” Simply put, there is no
“immediate” harm or “emergency” that necessitates the Court acting on an ex parte basis to grant
Plaintiff relief it is not entitled to, and which Plaintiff inexplicably waited over three years to
request.
Finally, the harm to Infinity far outweighs any harm to Plaintiff if an injunction enters, and
an injunction is contrary to the public interest. If an injunction is granted, Infinity will be unable
to move forward with the ongoing Phase II development. Not only does Infinity risk losing a
substantial monetary amount (the lost profits from developing 42 units), but the harm to Infinity
is also irreparable. Infinity has contracts and obligations with many contractors for the Phase II
development. Infinity risks being in breach of its obligations to third parties as well as losing
contractors who will not sit around and wait for this lawsuit to resolve. Infinity will also lose the
time in which Infinity would otherwise be developing the units (i.e., the entire project will be
delayed and Infinity can never recover that time). Moreover, the public has an interest in allowing
5
Infinity to continue the Phase II development so that more homes are developed for additional
homeowners in the community – indeed, exactly what the Township and this Court agreed when
To this end, even if the Court grants any injunctive relief to Plaintiff or maintains the
existing ex parte TRO (which it should not), the Court should require Plaintiff to post a significant
bond of at least $1,000,000 to protect Infinity from a wrongfully issued injunction. If the TRO is
HOWARD & HOWARD ATTORNEYS PLLC
deemed to have wrongfully issued and Infinity ultimately prevails on the merits of this lawsuit,
Infinity will not have any adequate remedy at law. Plaintiff is uncollectible for the damages that
would be caused by a delay in the Township and Court approved project. Plaintiff is a
Homeowner’s Association which obtains a limited amount of association dues as its sole source
of operating income. Those nominal funds are spent on landscaping and similar common area
maintenance. If the ex parte TRO remains in effect and an injunction issues that prevents Infinity
from continuing to build, Infinity is forced to maintain the property, pay taxes and insurance on
the property, without developing the property to earn a return on its investment as well as the
irreparable harm described above. Accordingly, if an injunction issues or the ex parte TRO
remains in effect (which it should not), the Plaintiff must be required to post a bond of at least
For these reasons, which are explained in more detail below, Infinity respectfully requests
that this Honorable Court DENY Plaintiff’s motion for TRO and preliminary injunction in its
entirety and immediately DISSOLVE the ex parte May 16, 2023 TRO.
3
Plaintiff’s Motion asks this Court not to impose any bond, and the ex parte TRO was entered
without requiring any bond, but there is no explanation why Plaintiff should not have to post a
bond. To the contrary, the risk of substantial and irreparable harm to Infinity from a wrongfully
issued TRO and preliminary injunction mandates a sufficient bond to protect Infinity. Infinity has
no other adequate remedy at law, which is precisely why a bond should be mandated.

II. LEGAL STANDARD
As set forth above, Plaintiff maintains the burden of justifying the continuing nature of the
sparingly, only in circumstances that necessitate such extraordinary relief. Davis v Detroit Fin
Review Team, 296 Mich App 568, 612; 821 NW2d 896 (2012). An injunction may issue without

taking testimony only “[i]f the party’s entitlement to the injunction can be established in a
Campau v McMath, 185 Mich App 724, 728; 463 NW2d 186 (1990). The party requesting
“injunctive relief has the burden of establishing that a preliminary injunction should be issued. . .
Because a party seeking to obtain injunctive relief bears the heavy burden of establishing
entitlement to an injunction, that party bears the burden of establishing the existence of four critical
prerequisites:
1) The likelihood that the party seeking the injunction will prevail on the merits;
2) The danger that the party seeking the injunction will suffer irreparable injury if the
3) The risk that the party seeking the injunction would be harmed more by the absence of
an injunction than the opposing party would be by the granting of the relief; and

A preliminary injunction “is an extraordinary type of relief available only with a showing
of irreparable harm.” Mich Coalition of State Employee Unions v Mich Civil Sery Comm’n, 465
Mich 212, 228 (2001); As an extraordinary remedy, injunctive relief is normally granted only when
“(1) justice requires it, (2) there is no adequate remedy at law, and (3) there exists a real and
imminent danger of irreparable injury.” Head v Phillips Camper Sales & Rental, Inc, 234 Mich
App 94, 110 (1999); see also, Roghan v Block, 590 F Supp 150, 153 (WD Mich 1984) (“There is

III. ARGUMENT
Plaintiff’s lawsuit, and its motion for TRO and preliminary injunction, are frivolous.
Plaintiff has absolutely no likelihood of prevailing on the merits. Plaintiff ignores this Court’s
2019 Consent Judgment, the fact that it has no ownership interest in or ability to prevent Infinity
from building on its own property, and the Condominium Act, all of which permit Infinity to move
forward with Phase II development in the condominium project. Plaintiff also ignores its over
three-year delay that it took to file this lawsuit, without ever trying to have the 2019 Consent
Judgment set aside. For the reasons that follow, this Court should immediately dissolve the May
16, 2023 TRO, deny Plaintiff’s motion for preliminary injunction, and the Court should dismiss
The TRO must be dissolved for the sole reason that Plaintiff cannot establish a substantial
likelihood of prevailing on any of its claims. Where a plaintiff cannot establish a substantial
likelihood of prevailing on the merits, injunctive relief is improper for that reason alone. Here,
there are three independent and freestanding reasons why Plaintiff cannot prevail on the merits:
8
(1) the 2019 Consent Judgment remains in full force and effect and permits Infinity to move
forward with Phase II development; (2) the land in Phase II is owned by Infinity and Plaintiff has
no basis to dictate how Infinity uses its own property that Plaintiff has no interest in; and (3)
Infinity had authority to enter into the 2019 Consent Judgment as owner of over two-thirds of the
condominium units at the time, and the amendment to the Master Deed is authorized by the 2019
Consent Judgment and the Condominium Act. These points are discussed in more detail below.
HOWARD & HOWARD ATTORNEYS PLLC
The entirety of Plaintiff’s causes of action in this lawsuit are barred by this Court’s 2019
Consent Judgment in Infinity Hawthorne Woods, LLC v. Charter Township of Huron, Case No.
2018-000579-CZ. The 2019 Consent Judgment makes clear that Infinity “may develop the Estates
sole discretion, be developed in any number of phases and site improvements, such as roads and
utility construction, [and] may also be constructed in phases.” (Ex. 1 at p. 8, ¶ 12). Therefore, the
development Infinity is currently undertaking for Phase II of the condominium project is expressly
permitted by the 2019 Consent Judgment entered into by Infinity and the Charter Township of
Huron, and which was signed and entered by this Court. The 2019 Consent Judgment remains in
full force and effect. Under the 2019 Consent Judgment, Plaintiff has no basis to stop Infinity
from continuing to develop Phase II of the condominium project, under any legal theory.
If Plaintiff wanted to challenge the 2019 Consent Judgment, Plaintiff should have sought
to intervene in the 2018 case and subsequently move to set aside the Consent Judgment. Plaintiff
recognized this in its October 2022 demand letter to Infinity (Ex. 9). Yet Plaintiff has not sought
to intervene in the 2018 case or to set aside the binding 2019 Consent Judgment. This alone
9
A consent judgment “will not be set aside or modified except for fraud or mutual mistake.”
Trendell v Solomon, 178 Mich App 365, 367; 443 NW2d 509 (1989) (citation omitted); Att’y Gen
v Gelman Sciences, Inc, No 357599, 2022 WL 4281485, at *4 (Mich Ct App Sept 15, 2022) (“Once
entered, ‘[a] judgment by consent cannot ordinarily be set aside or vacated by the court without
consent of the parties thereto, for the reason that it is not the judgment of the court, but the judgment
of the parties.’”) (citing Goldberg v Trustees of Elmwood Cemetery, 281 Mich 647, 649; 275 NW
HOWARD & HOWARD ATTORNEYS PLLC
663 (1937)). In addition, “once a consent judgment has been entered, it has the full force and
effect of a litigated judgment.” Trendell, 178 Mich App at 368–69. See also Clohset v No Name
Corp, 302 Mich App 550; 840 NW2d 375 (2013) (“Certainly, once entered, consent judgments
are treated the same as litigated judgments in terms of their force and effect.”). Consent
judgments cannot be collaterally attacked in a new lawsuit years later. Clohset, 302 Mich
App at 388 (“But, as noted, any such error could have been challenged only on direct appeal, and
not collaterally, ten years later, as defendants seek to do in this case.”) (citations omitted). In fact,
a trial court lacks authority to modify a consent judgment, or, as Plaintiff asks for in this case to
deem a consent judgment “unenforceable.” Gelman Sciences, 2022 WL 4281485, at *5 (trial court
lacks power to modify an existing consent judgment “without the parties’ consent or forcing new
Plaintiff has not moved to intervene in the 2018 lawsuit or to set aside the 2019 Consent
Judgment (perhaps recognizing that it cannot obtain such relief under the law and instead deciding
to file a baseless lawsuit that is effectively a collateral attack on the 2019 Consent Judgment).
With the 2019 Consent Judgment still in effect, which has the “full force and effect of a litigated
judgment,” Plaintiff does not have any likelihood of prevailing on the merits of any of its claims.
10
The Motion for TRO and preliminary injunction must be denied for this reason alone, and the May
16, 2023 ex parte TRO must immediately be dissolved to prevent further harm to Infinity.
Regardless of the existence and enforceability of the 2019 Consent Judgment, Plaintiff
cannot prevail on the merits because it has not established that the work Infinity is undertaking is
HOWARD & HOWARD ATTORNEYS PLLC
being done on common areas or property belonging to the Plaintiff Homeowner’s Association. It
is not. Plaintiff has no property interest whatsoever that provides a basis to stop Infinity from
developing Phase II, which is occurring on property that is distinct from the Phase I property.
Infinity alone owns the property. (Ex. 2, Affidavit of R. Soave, at ¶ 10). Plaintiff has no ownership,
or even arguable ownership interest, in the property or any aspects of Phase II. (Id.).
success on the merits, Plaintiff’s Verified Complaint and Motion for TRO is devoid of any
evidence establishing that Plaintiff owns the property it seeks to have Infinity stop work on. No
affidavit establishes that Plaintiff owns the property. Plaintiff has not attached a deed showing
that Plaintiff owns the property because no such deed exists (and obviously Plaintiff knows Infinity
owns the property). The only rights Plaintiff maintains are those to the common areas in Phase I
of the project. There are no grounds under which Plaintiff can dictate how Infinity develops its
own property. For this additional reason, regardless of the enforceability of the 2019 Consent
3. Infinity had authority to enter into the Consent Judgment and amend
the Master Deed under the Condominium Act
Plaintiff’s claims also fail on the merits because Infinity had authority to enter into the
Consent Judgment and to later amend the Master Deed in conformance with the 2019 Consent
11
Judgment under the Condominium Act. As Plaintiff’s Motion recognizes at pages 6–7, the
Condominium Act permits amending the Master Deed upon consent of “not less than 2/3 of the
votes of the co-owners and mortgagees.” MCL 559.190(2). Plaintiff fails to acknowledge that, at
the time Infinity entered into the 2019 Consent Judgment, Infinity held over two-thirds of the votes
of the co-owners and mortgagees. (Ex. 2, R. Soave Affidavit at ¶ 4). Infinity’s later recording of
the amendment to the Master Deed was simply to conform to the 2019 Consent Judgment that
HOWARD & HOWARD ATTORNEYS PLLC
Infinity had expressly consented to, and which authorizes the expansion of the project into phase
2. As such, the central basis underlying Plaintiff’s claims (that Infinity allegedly did not have the
authority to amend the Master Deed to expand the condominium project under the Condominium
For this additional and independent reason, Plaintiff cannot establish a substantial
Hammel v Speaker of House of Representatives, 297 Mich App 641, 651; 825 NW2d 616 (2012).
Here, Plaintiff cannot establish irreparable harm because it has not made any such “particularized
showing” and because of its own unilateral delay in seeking “emergency” relief. There is no
emergency. Instead, Plaintiff waited over three years to run to court on a purported “emergency”
to obtaining injunctive relief. Mich AFSCME Counc 25 v Woodhaven-Brownstown Sch Dist, 293
Mich App 143, 149; 809 NW2d 444 (2011). “A finding of irreparable harm is ‘the single most
important prerequisite that the Court must examine when ruling upon a motion for a preliminary
12
injunction.” Wells Fargo & Co v WhenU.com, Inc, 293 F Supp 2d 734, 771 (ED Mich 2003).
Where, as here, a plaintiff delays seeking a preliminary injunction, such delay undermines any
suggestion of immediate and irreparable harm. Id. At 771 (nine-month delay in seeking injunctive
relief undermined any allegation of irreparable harm). See also Allied Erecting & Dismantling Co
v Genesis Equip & Mfg, 511 F App’x 398, 404 (6th Cir. 2013) (a party’s delay “severely
undermines” a request for a TRO “because its lack of urgency suggests it does not need immediate
HOWARD & HOWARD ATTORNEYS PLLC
injunctive relief.”). This is especially true in this case where the Plaintiff is seeking ex parte relief
on the grounds that notice of the Motion itself would purportedly “precipitate adverse action before
As explained above, Plaintiff (and the co-owners in the condominium project) knew of the
existence of the 2019 Consent Judgment by March 2020 at the latest. (Ex. 3, 3/11/2020 Meeting
Minutes). It was discussed at a March 2020 meeting among Plaintiff, Infinity and the co-owners,
and the meeting minutes referencing the Consent Judgment and Phase II were later circulated to
all co-owners. (Exs. 4 and 5). Phase II of the project was also discussed in detail at a March 23,
2021 meeting among Plaintiff, Infinity and the co-owners, with the meeting minutes again
circulated to all co-owners. (Exs. 6, 7, and 8). And as explained, following the 2019 Consent
Judgment, Infinity prominently displayed a sign in its sales office showing the planned Phase II
development (Ex. 10), which all purchasers became aware of when they purchased homes.
The timing of Plaintiff’s case and this Motion (over three years after Plaintiff learned of
the alleged basis for this lawsuit through detailed meetings with Infinity) “suggests an obstructive
motive, rather than a sincere belief that Plaintiff is being irreparably harmed. . . .” Huron Mountain
Club v U S Army Corps of Engineers, No 2:12-CV-197, 2012 WL 3060146, at *14 (WD Mich July
25, 2012) (Plaintiff’s delay in pursuing claims “evidences a lack of immediate irreparable harm.”).
13
There is simply no “emergency” justifying immediate injunctive relief. Instead, Plaintiff attempts
to hide the true facts to manufacture a self-inflicted “emergency” created solely by Plaintiff’s
intentional delay in filing this baseless lawsuit and Motion. Plaintiff’s own unclean hands preclude
any finding of “irreparable harm.” See Richards v Tibaldi, 272 Mich App 522, 537; 726 NW2d
770 (2006) (“The maxim that a party who comes into equity must come with clean hands is an
elementary and fundamental concept of equity jurisprudence. The clean-hands doctrine closes the
HOWARD & HOWARD ATTORNEYS PLLC
doors of equity to one tainted with inequitableness or bad faith relative to the matter in which he
or she seeks relief, regardless of the improper behavior of the defendant. If there are indications
of unfairness or overreaching on an equity plaintiff’s part, the court will refuse to grant him or her
equitable relief.”).
In addition to Plaintiff’s intentional delay of over three years preventing any finding of
irreparable harm, Plaintiff has not set forth any particularized immediate harm. Plaintiff simply
says that, if its Motion is not granted, Infinity could continue to prepare Infinity’s own property
for the future building of homes. But Plaintiff has not identified: (1) how it has any standing to
claim harm from Infinity building on its own property that Plaintiff has no rights under, or (2) any
potential harm by Infinity continuing to clear trees and use its own property for the Phase II
development. Indeed, Plaintiff has not offered any admissible evidence, through affidavit or
otherwise, that establishes Plaintiff would even use the property for any reason or that such use
will be irreparably harmed absent an injunction. Simply put, Plaintiff’s motion fails to articulate
Mere apprehension of a future injury does not suffice; instead, the plaintiff must make “a
particularized showing of irreparable harm.” Mich AFSCME, 293 Mich App at 149. Speculative
assertions cannot demonstrate the type of harm necessary for the issuance of injunctive relief.

And an injunction should not issue when there is an adequate remedy at law. CSX Transp, Inc v

Ill of Mich v Dep’t of Community Health, 231 Mich App 647, 664; 588 NW2d 133 (1998)

injury can be remedied by damages at law.”); Basicomputer Corp v Scott, 973 F 2d 507, 511 (6th
HOWARD & HOWARD ATTORNEYS PLLC
Cir 1992) (explaining that there is no irreparable harm if an injury is compensable by money
damages). Here, Plaintiff has an adequate remedy at law assuming arguendo that its legal claims
had merit (which they do not): money damages. Therefore, there is simply no irreparable harm.
C. The Harm to Infinity if an Injunction Enters and the May 16, 2023 Ex Parte
TRO Remains in Effect Far Outweighs Any Speculative Harm to Plaintiff, and
the Public Interest Disfavors Injunctive Relief
The harm to Infinity if an injunction enters far outweighs any speculative harm to Plaintiff
if an injunction does not enter or if the May 16, 2023 ex parte TRO is dissolved. Even if the
property at issue was owned as common elements by Plaintiff (which it is not), Plaintiff plans to
do nothing with the property. On the other hand, Infinity is actively preparing the site for
development, Infinity will sustain irreparable harm, which includes being forced to maintain the
property, pay taxes and insurance on the property, without developing the property to earn a return
on its investment as well. (Ex. 2, R. Soave Affidavit at ¶ 11). Infinity also stands to lose
contractors and materials that it will not be able to retain. (Id.). Infinity could never make up the
lost time that it would otherwise be using to move forward with the Phase II development. (Id.).
The harm to Infinity is far greater if an injunction issues than any speculative harm to Plaintiff if
15
Similarly, the public interest favors denial of Plaintiff’s motion. The public has an interest
in permitting Infinity to continue the Phase II development so that new homebuyers can purchase
a home in the community, including because the Township also approved the development because
If an injunction issues or if this Court maintains the May 16, 2023 TRO (which it should
not), Plaintiff should be required to post a substantial bond. Plaintiff seeks an injunction without
any bond, but Plaintiff’s motion provides no analysis as to why a bond should not be required.
Plaintiff is a Homeowner’s Association with no source of income other than the little it collects
from co-owners for common area maintenance such as landscaping. If an injunction enters or the
TRO continues and Infinity ultimately prevails on the merits, Infinity will have no means to collect
its damages from Plaintiff unless this Court requires a security bond to be posted. Given the
substantial harm that Infinity will sustain if an injunction is entered, in the event an injunction
enters or the TRO continues (which it should not) Plaintiff should be required to post an injunction
IV. CONCLUSION
For these reasons, Infinity respectfully requests that this Honorable Court immediately
DISSOLVE the TRO issued on May 16, 2023. Infinity requests a hearing on this motion within
24 hours as mandated by MCR 3.310(B)(5). Infinity also requests a substantial bond be required
to be posted by Plaintiff should this Court maintain the TRO (which it should instead dissolve).
Finally, Infinity respectfully seeks an award of sanctions against Plaintiff and its attorneys for
16
filing this frivolous motion and seeking ex parte relief from this Court based on material omissions
and misrepresentations.
Respectfully submitted,

I, Rino Soave, being first duly sworn, deposes and state as follows:
1. I am the principal and sole member of the Defendant in this case, Infinity-
3. If sworn as a witness, I can testify competently and truthfully to the matters set
Charter Township of Huron in Infinity Hawthorne Woods, LLC v. Charter Township of Huron,
Case No. 2018-000579-CZ, Infinity owned greater than two-thirds of the units in the overall
condominium project.
5. On March 11, 2020, a meeting occurred between Infinity, Plaintiff, and several
homeowners in the condominium project. Several topics were discussed, including electing the
Board for the Homeowner’s Association, the 2019 Consent Judgment, and Infinity’s planned
6. Meeting Minutes were prepared by Infinity following the meeting, and, on March

10. The Phase II property belongs to Infinity. Infinity alone owns the property.
Plaintiff has no ownership, or even arguable ownership, in the property or any aspects of Phase II.
11. If an injunction issues preventing Infinity from continuing with Phase II of the
condominium project, Infinity will sustain irreparable harm. Infinity will have to continue to
maintain the property, including paying taxes, insurance, and other maintenance, without being
able to develop the property to earn a return on Infinity’s investment. Infinity also faces the risk
of losing contractors whom Infinity has engaged to move forward with Phase II as well as an

Discussion
• The purpose & responsibility of the homeowner's association board is:
o Notification and collection of annual dues
o Enforce due payment amongst residents
o Take necessary action for collection of delinquent dues
o Enforcement of community restrictions and covenants
o Solicit for competitive bids of common area maintenance
o Oversee compliance of maintenance contractors to confirm what was contracted meets the work being
performed
o Process payments to contractors
o General oversite and beautification and upkeep of the community
• Currently there are 68 occupied homes, which means 73% of the community is completed
• Our current model home will be up for sale in the coming months and a new model home will be built on unit
#2
• On average since opening sales in the community, Infinity Homes & Co. has averaged 15-20 sales per year, at
this rate we anticipate being built out in Phase 1 by the end of 2021
• The final coat of asphalt is the responsibility of and will be completed by the developer upon construction being
completed. Due to Phase II, it could be approximately an additional 3-4 years before construction is
completed, and there isn't the opportunity to pave certain areas and prohibit construction traffic since access
to the development is limited
o The road near the model needs attention as it is crumbling and has a large pot hole
• Board Member, Bob Verhelle, inquired on how the HOA is management once we (Infinity Homes & Co.), turn
the association over the homeowners
o We (Infinity Homes & Co.) are happy to assist with recommending management companies that the
board and select or the Board can continue to run the HOA on their own
• The expenses of the common areas are shared at a rate of 44% for single family homes and 56% for condos.
The management company for the condo association is KS Management.
Board Member, Bob Verhelle, voiced his concerns regarding the maintenance of the retention pond. There are
cat tails which are covering the intake and the general maintenance of the pond is not adequate
o Rino Soave agrees in the spring we can jetvac the storm sewers and clean the pond. We will work with
KS Management to approve the pricing of this work as it is a shared expense
Board Member, Cynthia Jones, expressed her concern with the street sweepers, hired by Infinity, pushing all
the dirt and mud into the catch basins and clogging them
o Infinity's on site team should be /will be doing a better job in the future of monitoring dirt and debris in
the streets and filters of the catch basins and clearing them as necessary. We will work with our team
to ensure this is being done properly moving forward and please do not hesistate to contact our office
immediately if there is an issue that persists for more than 24 hours
The filter fabrics inside the catch basins are required by Wayne County and they block any construction debris
from getting into the storm sewer system
The budget was put together based on prior years' expenses as well as being prepared to pay our share of
expenses should KS Management start billing us. We have requested our bills several times but never receive
them. We anticipate the dues will remain the same for this & next year, but that is subject to change subject to
the expense split with KS/Hawthorne Woods HOA
o If at any point any member of the association would like to look at bills, etc., we are happy to prepare
the documents for review upon request and will need approximately 1 week notice
At this time, we have fifteen (15) residents who are delinquent on their dues. They will be notified and a grace
period will be given, however if we do not receive payment after approximately 2 notices, the HOA turn it over
to our legal counsel and liens will be filed on their property. The delinquent members are as follows:
o Jessica & Kent Atwood $400.00
o Frederick Baker & Rachelle Oleas $1,280.00
o Kevin Brooks $400.00
o Jeffrey Haener $400.00
o Ashley & Helen Huffman $400.00
o Barbara & James Kalbfleish $400.00
o Jeremy Kunzman $400.00
o Michael & Jenna Luciani $400.00
o Brian Patrick $400.00
o Fred & Sharlon Price $2,155.00
o John & Julie Ryan $400.00
o Gregory Shately $400.00
o Dana & Joseph Stephens $425.00
o Alyse White $1,280.00
The legal fees paid by the association to file liens on certain properties are assessed to the homeowner to
reimburse the HOA
» Street Parking was discussed in detail as overnight parking is prohibited by the bylaws
• Board Member, Cynthia Jones, said a Dianne Lane street sign is needed at the intersection of Dianne &
Christina, near unit #47
o We will have our onsite employees inventory the street signs to determine necessary placement
o The Board members will work on amending the bylaws to allow overnight parking except where posted
(i.e. fire lanes, intersections, etc.)
• The front entrance will be updated for spring by June 15, 2020. This is a shared expense with KS Management
so the scope of work is negotiated between KS Management and our HOA. We would like to see the stone be
replaced with mulch, but have yet to get KS Management on board
• Board Member, Bob Verhelle, would like to meet with KS Management to discuss shared expenses.
o We will request a meeting on behalf of the board

• A second phase to Hawthorne Woods has been Approved after a consent judgment was granted to the
developer. The two streets will be cul-de-sacs and will be near units 19-20 & 28-29. Development is estimated
to commence sometime in 2021
• The discrepancy with address street names was mentioned again. Attached is a list provided to Infinity by the
Township assigning the addresses. If you have issues, please contact the Huron Township Assessing

Discussion
One board member resigned as of March 22, 2021
o We are looking to fill that board member’s spot for the remainder of this term, which is until October
2021.
o If you are interested in sitting on the board for the remainder of this term, please email Liz Thomas
with your information by April 6, 2021 at 5PM
Only members who are in good standing will be eligible to run for election to the board
o The two current board member’s term is up in October 2021
o If you are interested in sitting on the board for a 2-year term beginning in October 2021 please email
Liz Thomas with your information by April 6, 2021 at 5PM
Only members who are in good standing will be eligible to run for election to the board
o Ballots for voting in the interim board member to be in place of the member who resigned as well as
ballots to vote in the board for the new 2-year term will be dispersed via email, mail, or by Robert &
Cynthia personally
This will be decided amongst current board members in the coming days
o Ballots must be returned to Infinity’s office to tally the winners
There are thirteen (13) members of the HOA who are delinquent on dues. The board members will discuss
action such as filing liens on houses to enforce the collection of dues
o Robert brought to our attention that having February 28, 2021 as the due date for HOA dues causes
some issues as that is when taxes are due and some people are still recovering from Holiday expenses.
Therefore, the board will discuss moving the due date next year to March
Currently, we plan to use the same contractors as last year for Spring/Summer maintenance, but the board is
welcome to obtain competitive bids to hire new contractors
o We would like to beautify the entrance this year, but that will require irrigation to be installed to cover
the entire boulevard at the entrance.
Robert will meet the irrigation company on April 20, 2021 to view the area that irrigation needs
to be added
Due to the nature of street parking throughout Hawthorne Woods, the board is looking to amend the bylaws to
allow overnight street parking. This amendment must be drafted and recorded by an attorney which the board
has provided approval for Infinity to get pricing from the attorney to have this done.
o Debbie Clark (37421 Theresa Lane) is concerned regarding allowing street parking and inquired on
whether or not 2/3 vote was needed to allow the change
The Developer has the authority to make changes to the bylaws without homeowner
consent for non-material changes. The parking, to the boards understanding, is a non-
material change but will verify with an attorney before the amendment is drafted.
Kim Vaughn (37421 Theresa Lane) wanted clarification on the proposed amendment to the bylaws regarding
street parking and the possible addition of mosquito treatment for the pond at the rear of her house due to the
severity of mosquitos in the summer
o Robert Verhelle clarified that the amendment to the bylaws for street parking would allow street
parking overnight by HOA members as a result of no overflow parking being provided within the
development.
o Robert Verhelle also clarified that he is working with the Township regarding the required maintenance
on the ponds. Currently, the pond is being treated by Grosse Ile for algae only, but we can look into
some type of mosquito control which would be a shared expense between the Condo Association and
the Estates Association
Phase I of Hawthorne Woods Estates will likely be built out by the end of the year.
Phase II of Hawthorne Woods Estates will likely start later this summer or early fall. Our goal is to have the
road in by fall, but that is subject to change
There were no questions from homeowners regarding section 2- Annual Dues, 2021 Budgets Review and
Establishing a Budget for 2022
Deborah Clark (37421 Theresa Lane) stated there are approximately 3 or 4 homeowners who have mailboxes in
front of their house which are not serviceable
o The Mail delivery system was established as cluster box delivery and individual boxes serve no purpose
and action to have those mailboxes removed will be taken
Robert Verhelle asked if there are any agreements between Hawthorne Woods Condo Association and Infinity
Homes which the board was not privy to
o Rino confirmed that we do not have any agreements other than what is written out in our Community
Association Agreement regarding shared expenses, etc. Including their portion of capping the roads
upon completion of construction
Road construction will likely be done in one phase, which is common protocol when finishing
developments. Construction Traffic for Phase II will be monitored as to not damage the
finished roads in Phase II
Brent Massie (37468 Dianne Lane) mentioned the issue with incorrect addresses/street signs. This causes
issues with mail deliveries etc.
o Robert Verhelle has been working with the Township and Post office who are the parties that have
caused the miscommunication with street names. The addresses were assigned prior to Infinity
purchasing Hawthorne Woods estates as Infinity was not the developer. Robert will work on clarifying
the issues and once all parties are in agreement the street signs will be updated accordingly
