Ben C. Brodhead III, Ashley Brooke Fournet, Atlanta, Darrell Hinson, Decatur, John Wesley Ingram Nichols, Brodhead Law, for Appellant.

Laurie Webb Daniel, Matthew D. Friedlander, Holland & Knight, Atlanta; Joseph Robb Cruser, Raymond Russell Grant II, Cruser & Mitchell, Atlanta, for Appellee.

Doyle, Presiding Judge. In Junior v. Graham ,¹ this Court affirmed the trial court's denial of the appellant's motion for attorney fees under OCGA § 9-11-68. The appellant appealed the decision to the Supreme Court of Georgia, which reversed our judgment and remanded the case to this Court "with direction to remand the case to the trial court for reconsideration of [the appellant's] motion for attorney fees and litigation expenses under OCGA § 9-11-68 (b) (2) consistent with this opinion."² We therefore vacate our earlier opinion and adopt the Supreme Court's opinion as our own.

2 Junior v. Graham , 313 Ga. 420, 429 (2) (c), 870 S.E.2d 378 (2022).

Judgment reversed and case remanded with direction.

McFadden, P. J., and Hodges, J., concur.
