1Opinion of the Court

Sognier, Judge.

In McCannon v. State, 252 Ga. 515 (315 SE2d 413) (1984), the Supreme Court reversed the decision of this court in the above-styled case on the ground that appellant’s second prosecution for a separate offense arising from a single transaction, known to the prosecutor and within the jurisdiction of a single court at the time of appellant’s first prosecution, was barred by the provisions of OCGA § 16-1-7 (b). Accordingly, our judgment in McCannon v. State, 168 Ga. App. 471 (309 SE2d 636) (1983) was vacated, and the judgment of the trial court is reversed.

Judgment reversed.
