STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN REGENTS and UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN HEALTH SYSTEM, UNPUBLISHED June 5, 2008 Plaintiffs-Appellants, v No. 276710 Washtenaw Circuit Court LC No. 06-000034-CK TITAN INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant-Appellee. Before: Davis, P.J., and Murray and Beckering, JJ. PER CURIAM. Plaintiffs appeal as of right from the trial court’s order granting summary disposition to defendant insurer pursuant to the one-year-back rule of MCL 500.3145(1) in plaintiffs’ action seeking first-party no-fault personal injury protection (PIP) benefits against defendant. We affirm. This appeal has been decided without oral argument pursuant to MCR 7.214(E). Plaintiffs seek reimbursement for medical care rendered to an uninsured man who was injured in an automobile accident. Plaintiffs, who did not file their claim until several years after the last date of care, argue that MCL 600.5821(4) operates to exempt them, as public entities, from application of the one-year-back rule of MCL 500.3145(1). In Liptow v State Farm Mut Auto Ins Co, 272 Mich App 544; 726 NW2d 442 (2006), a panel of this Court held that MCL 600.5821(4) does not operate to limit application of the oneyear-back rule, MCL 500.3145(1). We are bound by that holding. The trial court properly applied Liptow in granting defendant’s motion for summary disposition. Affirmed. /s/ Christopher M. Murray /s/ Jane M. Beckering -1-
