Bethany Lynn Schneider, Atlanta, Tracy Ann O'Connell, for Appellant. John C. Bell Jr., Augusta, Timothy David Roberts, Benjamin Mason Perkins, Savannah, for Appellee.
ELLINGTON, Presiding Judge.

In Georgia–Pacific Consumer Products, LP v. Ratner, 295 Ga. 524, 762 S.E.2d 419 (2014), the Supreme Court of Georgia reversed this Court's decision in Georgia–Pacific Consumer Prods., LP v. Ratner, 323 Ga.App. 203, 746 S.E.2d 829 (2013), in which we affirmed the trial court's order certifying the class in this suit alleging damages from the release of hydrogen sulfide gas from the defendant's sludge fields, finding no abuse of discretion. Accordingly, our prior decision is vacated, the opinion the Supreme Court is made the opinion of this Court, and the order of the trial court is hereby reversed.

Judgment reversed. ANDREWS, P.J., BARNES, P.J., PHIPPS, P.J., MILLER, RAY, and BRANCH, JJ., concur.
