In the Court of Appeals of Georgia
A13A0740. THOMPSON v. LAFARGE BUILDING MATERIALS, DO-041
INC.
DOYLE, Presiding Judge.
In Thompson v. LaFarge Bldg. Materials, Inc.,1 we reversed the trial court’s
grant of summary judgment to LaFarge Building Materials (“LaFarge”) on the basis
that a personal guaranty signed by Larry Thompson did not meet the requirements of
the Statute of Frauds. Thereafter, LaFarge petitioned for certiorari to the Georgia
Supreme Court, which the Court granted. In Lafarge Bldg. Materials, Inc. v.
Thompson, the Supreme Court reversed our decision, ruling that the personal

guaranty met the requirements of the Statute of Frauds.2 Consequently, we vacate our
previous opinion and adopt the Supreme Court’s opinion as our own.
Judgment affirmed. Phipps, C.J., Barnes, P.J., Ellington, P.J., McFadden,
Boggs and Branch, JJ., concur.
