Opinions
The motions for appointment of a receiver and for relief from orders are considered, and they are denied, because the Court is not persuaded that it should grant the requested relief. Petitioner Judicial Tenure Commission seeks the appointment of a receiver in its ongoing collection efforts against respondent former judge. [1203]*1203Petitioner requests a receivership over respondent’s real property but has not shown that all less intrusive means, such as a creditor’s examination, were ineffective. Reed v Reed, 265 Mich App 131, 162 (2005). Indeed, petitioner has not exhausted other remedies to pursue payment by respondent. See Petitpren v Taylor School Dist, 104 Mich App 283, 295 (1981). Our cases note that the appointment of a receiver is a “harsh proceeding, which should only be resorted to in extreme cases.” People v Israelite House of David, 246 Mich 606, 618 (1929); Michigan Minerals, Inc v Williams, 306 Mich 515, 525 (1943). The appointment of a receiver at this juncture would be premature.
