In Coweta County v. Simmons, 269 Ga. 694 ( 507 S.E.2d 440) (1998), the Supreme Court reversed that portion of this Court's opinion in Simmons v. Coweta County, 229 Ga. App. 550 ( 494 S.E.2d 362) (1997) finding that Officer Holcomb, the work detail supervisor, was liable for Simmons' injuries. Therefore, we vacate that portion of our earlier opinion, and adopt the opinion of the Supreme Court as our own.

Judgment reversed. Ruffin, J., and Senior Appellate Judge Harold R. Banke concur.

ELDRIDGE, Judge.
