In the Court of Appeals of Georgia A16A0118. SPENCER v. THE STATE.

McFADDEN, Presiding Judge.

In Spencer v. State, 337 Ga. App. 360 (787 SE2d 360) (2016), this court

affirmed the appellant’s conviction of driving under the influence of alcohol, finding

in Division 1 that the trial court had not erred in allowing certain testimony from the

arresting officer and in Division 2 that the trial court had not erred in giving a pattern

jury instruction instead of a requested charge. The Georgia Supreme Court, in

Spencer v. State, ____ Ga. ____ (Case No. S16G1751, decided October 2, 2017),

reversed the finding in Division 1 of our opinion and reversed the appellant’s DUI

conviction, but did not address Division 2 of our opinion. Accordingly, Division 1 of

our decision in Spencer, supra at 337 Ga. App. 360-361, is hereby vacated and the

judgment of the Supreme Court is made the judgment of this court.

Judgment reversed. Miller, P. J., and McMillian, J., concur. 2
