In McKinney v. Fuciarelli, 298 Ga. 873, 785 S.E.2d 861 (2016), the Supreme Court of Georgia reversed Division 2 of our opinion in Fuciarelli v. McKinney, 333 Ga.App. 577, 773 S.E.2d 852 (2015), holding that the Georgia Taxpayer Protection Against False Claims Act, OCGA § 23–3–120 et seq., requires the Attorney General to approve taxpayer retaliation claims brought under subsection (l) of the Act. Accordingly, we vacate Division 2 of our opinion and adopt the opinion of our Supreme Court as our own in place of that division.

Judgment affirmed.

Barnes, P.J., Phipps, P.J., and Dillard, McFadden, Ray, and McMillian, JJ., concur.
