In Cox Enterprises v. Nix, 274 Ga. 801 (__ S.E.2d __) (2002) the Supreme Court reversed that portion of our judgment in Nix v. Cox Enterprises, 247 Ga. App. 689 ( 545 S.E.2d 319) (2001) which found that the trial court's grant of summary judgment on Nix's defamation claim was in error. Therefore, we vacate that portion of our earlier opinion and adopt the opinion of the Supreme Court as our own.

Judgment affirmed. BLACKBURN, C. J., and BARNES, J., concur.

ELDRIDGE, Judge.
