In the Court of Appeals of Georgia
 A15A2275. ELLIOT v. RESURGENS, P.C., d/b/a RESURGENS
     ORTHOPEDICS, et al.

      DILLARD, Chief Judge.

      In Resurgens, P.C. v. Elliott, __ Ga. __ (800 SE2d 580) (2017), the Supreme

Court of Georgia reversed our previous decision in Elliott v. Resurgens, P.C., 336 Ga.

App. 217 (782 SE2d 867) (2016), in which we reversed a jury verdict in favor of

Resurgens, P.C., d/b/a Resurgens Orthopedics and Tapan K. Daftari, M.D., in Sean

Elliot’s medical-malpractice action against them. Specifically, the Supreme Court of

Georgia disagreed with our conclusion that the trial court’s exclusion of certain

witness testimony required reversal of the jury’s verdict and held that the judgment

below should be affirmed. Accordingly, we adopt judgment of the Supreme Court of

Georgia as our own, and affirm the trial court’s judgment.

      Judgment affirmed. Ellington, P. J., and Mercier, J., concur.
