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.
Hodges, Judge. In Bishop v. Goins , 344 Ga. App. 174, 809 S.E.2d 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 S.E.2d 369 (2019), holding that such awards are not available.
