Opinion

A90A1788, A90A1789.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 3, 1991.

Action for damages. Bibb State Court. Before Judge Phillips.

Dozier, Akin, Lee Graham, L. Z. Dozier, Jr., for appellants.

Bentley, Karesh, Seacrest, Labovitz Campbell, Edwin A. Tate II, Jean F. Johnson, for appellee.

CARLEY, Judge.

Appellant-plaintiffs in these companion cases were robbed and seriously injured in the parking lot of appellee-defendant's restaurant. Appellants brought suit, alleging that appellee had negligently failed to provide adequate warning or adequate security for its patrons. Appellants appealed to this court from the trial court's grant of appellee's motion for summary judgment and we reversed. Haskins v. Lau's Corp., 198 Ga. App. 470 ( 402 S.E.2d 58) (1991). On certiorari, however, the Supreme Court reversed our decision. Lau's Corp. v. Haskins, 261 Ga. 491 ( 405 S.E.2d 474) (1991). Accordingly, our original judgment of reversal is vacated, the judgment of the Supreme Court is made the judgment of this court and the order of the trial court granting summary judgment in favor of appellee is hereby affirmed.

Judgments affirmed. Sognier, C. J., and McMurray, P. J., concur.
