Opinion

Quinn, P. J.

Following his conviction fot uttering and publishing a forged $30 check, 1 plaintiff was placed on probation July 2, 1956. One term of the probation order required plaintiff forthwith to make restitution of $737.80 and pay costs of $100 and he complied therewith. The amount of restitution was the total of other forged checks uttered and published and the $30 check involved in the conviction. Thereafter, plaintiff’s probation was revoked and he was sentenced to prison.

June 20, 1966, plaintiff filed complaint for claim and delivery 2 in Kent county circuit court against the superior court of Grand Rapids and Jack Bronkema, county clerk, to recover the restitution that exceeded the $30 check on which he was convicted on the theory that restitution for any sum beyond the amount involved in the offense for which he was convicted was illegal. Defendants moved for summary judgment on the basis the complaint failed to state a cause of action (GGR 1963, 117.2[1]), and other grounds unnecessary to con *230 sider in this decision. The trial court granted the motion and plaintiff appeals.

The order of probation was a judgment of a court having jurisdiction of plaintiff and the crime with which he was charged. That judgment was not appealed from when plaintiff filed the present complaint. The judgment may not he attacked collaterally, as plaintiff seeks to do. Turbessi v. Oliver Iron Mining Co.
