DECIDED APRIL 22, 1991.
Wrongful death. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Alexander.
William Q. Bird, Robert K. Finnell, for appellants.
Michael J. Bowers, Attorney General, H. Perry Michael, Executive Assistant Attorney General, Stephanie B. Manis, Deputy Attorney General, William C. Joy, Senior Assistant Attorney General, Mary F. Russell, Bruce M. Edenfield, Assistant Attorneys General, Shaw, Maddox, Graham, Monk Harris, C. Wade Monk II, for appellees.
This is a wrongful-death action filed against the appellees by the appellants. The trial court granted summary judgment to the appellees, and in Peeks v. Dept. of Human Resources, 196 Ga. App. 562 ( 396 S.E.2d 511) (1990), this court affirmed that ruling with respect to two of the appellees (Manney and May), while reversing with respect to the other two (Patel and the DHR). However, on certiorari, the Georgia Supreme Court reversed the latter portion of our decision, thereby holding that all four of the appellees were entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Georgia Dept. of Human Resources v. Peeks, 261 Ga. 96 ( 403 S.E.2d 36) (1991). In accordance with the decision of the Supreme Court, Divisions 2 and 3 of our previous decision are hereby vacated, and the judgment of the trial court is hereby affirmed in its entirety.
Judgment affirmed. Birdsong, P. J., and Cooper, J., concur.
