Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Wayne County Corporation Counsel (by Edward Ewell, Jr., and Ellen E. Mason), Detroit, for third-party plaintiffs-appellees Wayne County.

Otto J. Hetzel, Bethesda, MD, for third-party defendant-appellant Wokas.


PER CURIAM.

This appeal arises from postjudgment proceedings in a dispute over a partial refund owed by a hospital that was overpaid for the care of plaintiff's decedent, Marilyn J. Hinkle-Calcutt.

We hold that MCR 2.614(A)(1), commonly described as the automatic stay provision, does not apply to voluntary payments in satisfaction of a judgment. Therefore, we reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals to the extent that it holds to the contrary.
