BROWN, Judge.
In Ga. Ports Auth. v. Lawyer, 304 Ga. 667 (821 SE2d 22) (2018) (Lawyer II),
the Supreme Court of Georgia reversed Division 1 of this Court’s opinion in Ga.
Ports Auth. v. Lawyer, 342 Ga. App. 161 (803 SE2d 94) (2017) (Lawyer I).
Accordingly, we vacate only Division 1 of our prior opinion, adopt the opinion of the
Supreme Court of Georgia, and reverse the trial court’s denial of the Georgia Ports
Authority’s motion to dismiss Lawyer’s claim for damages in excess of $1 million.
See Lawyer II, 304 Ga. at 682 (5).
Judgment reversed. McFadden, P. J., and Coomer, J., concur.
