2023“More specifically, courts primarily examine a plaintiff’s efforts to correct the bankruptcy schedules and to make the bankruptcy court aware of any initially undisclosed claims.” Id. at 487 (emphasis added).

2023Plaintiff claims that “Slattery corrected the innocent mistake on the record in bankruptcy court.” It is true that, “[w]hen considering whether ‘the evidence indicates an absence of bad faith,’ courts will look, in particular, at the plaintiff’s ‘attempts’ to advise the bankruptcy court of the omitted claim.” Spohn, 296 Mich App at 486-487 (citation omitted).

2003McCoy, supra at 238-239 ; People v Tucker, 181 Mich App 246, 256 ; 448 NW2d 811 (1989). 6 The latter half of this holding, commonly called the “closely drawn” rule, states that it may be an error requiring reversal for a court to fail to give sua sponte a cautionary instruction when the issue of defendant’s involvement is “closely drawn.” This rule arguably conflicts with MCL 768.29, which provides that a verdict may not be set aside because of an omitted instruction if the defendant failed to request the instruction.

1996As this Court iterated in People v Tucker, 181 Mich App 246, 256 ; 448 NW2d 811 (1989), “]w]hen the omitted instruction pertains to the need to examine an accomplice’s testimony with caution, the failure to give the instruction sua sponte requires reversal if the issue of the defendant’s guilt is ‘closely drawn.’ ” See People v McCoy, 392 Mich 231, 240 ; 220 NW2d 456 (1974).
