    Holding that OCGA § 16-5-94 (d) does not permit attorney fee "awards for appellate proceedings occurring subsequent to the entry of" a stalking protective order

    Benham, Justice. In Bishop v. Goins, 344 Ga. App. 174, 809 S.E.2d 280 (2017), the Court of Appeals held that OCGA § 16-5-94 (d) (3) authorizes a trial court to award a party costs and attorney fees incurred during appellate proceedings following the entry of a stalking-related protective order. We granted certiorari to consider the issue, and, following an examination of the plain language of the statute, we conclude that OCGA § 16-5-94 (d) (3) does not permit such an award in this case.
