In the Court of Appeals of Georgia A17A2058. BISHOP v. GOINS et al. A17A2059. BISHOP et al. v. POWELL et al.
HODGES, Judge.
In Bishop v. Goins, 344 Ga. App. 174 (809 SE2d 280) (2017), we consolidated
these cases and affirmed the judgments of the Superior Court of Jasper County
awarding costs and attorney fees incurred during the appellate review of certain
stalking protective orders. Our Supreme Court reversed our opinion in Bishop v.
Goins, 305 Ga. 310 (824 SE2d 369) (2019), holding that such awards are not
available. See OCGA § 16-5-94 (d). Therefore, we vacate our earlier opinion, adopt
the opinion of the Supreme Court as our own, and reverse the judgments of the
Superior Court of Jasper County.
Judgments reversed. Rickman and Goss, JJ., concur.
