Judson K. Chapin, III, of Gaines, Walsh & Chapin, and William S. Bean, of Bean and Bean, both of Spartanburg, for petitioners.

PER CURIAM:

We granted certiorari to review the Court of Appeals' decision in Johnson v. Service Management, Inc., 319 S.C. 165, 459 S.E.2d 900 (Ct.App.1995). We affirm. In so doing, we note that the opinion only addresses involuntary transfers of property by debtors of judgment debtors. The Court of Appeals' holding that the money in this case could be reached only through supplemental proceedings should in no way be interpreted to impact on the rights given debtors of judgment debtors to voluntarily pay their debts under S.C.Code Ann. § 15-39-340 (1976).
