E LLINGTON, Chief Judge.

The Supreme Court of Georgia reversed our decision in Division 1 of our

opinion in this case, holding that Kyla Kesterson was improperly excluded from the

courtroom during almost all of her trial, and that such constituted reversible error

demanding a new trial. Kesterson v. Jarrett, ___ Ga. ___ (___ SE2d ___), 2012 Ga.

LEXIS 567, (Case No. S11G0590, decided June 18, 2012). Accordingly, our ruling

as to that Division is vacated and the judgment of the Supreme Court is made the

judgment of this Court.

Judgment reversed and remanded. Doyle, P. J., and Andrews, J., concur.
