STATE v. STANFORD (2022)

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

The STATE v. STANFORD.

A20A0879

Decided: June 03, 2022

Fani T. Willis, Paul Howard, Atlanta, Stephany Julissa Luttrell, Juliana Y. Sleeper, for Appellant. Richard William Marks, Clarkesville, for Appellee.

In State v. Stanford, 356 Ga. App. 594, 848 S.E.2d 465 (2020), we affirmed the partially suspended sentence of Appellee Antwon Rashaad Stanford. In State v. Stanford, 312 Ga. 707, 864 S.E.2d 448 (2021), the Supreme Court of Georgia reversed our decision and remanded the matter for the trial court to “exercise its discretion either to resentence Stanford entirely or merely to strike the suspension and leave the remainder of Stanford's sentence in place.” Id. at 711, 864 S.E.2d 448. Accordingly, we vacate our original decision, adopt the opinion of the Supreme Court of Georgia as our own, reverse the judgment of the trial court, and remand this case to the trial court for proceedings consistent with the opinion of the Supreme Court of Georgia.

Judgment reversed and case remanded with direction.

Pipkin, Judge.

Barnes, P. J., and Gobeil, J., concur.
