Birdsong, Presiding Judge. Applicant has failed to carry his burden of demonstrating tha his application should be granted, within the meaning of Harper v. Harper, 259 Ga. 246 (378 SE2d 673); accordingly, his application fo discretionary appeal is denied. However, examination of the order c the trial court reveals a procedural deficiency in that said order doe not contain a specific finding as to the conduct that authorized th award under OCGA § 9-15-14. See generally MacDougald v. Phillips 262 Ga. 778 (425 SE2d 652); Coker v. Mosley, 259 Ga. 781 (387 SE2d [763] 135). Accordingly, this case is remanded with direction that the trial court either include in its order findings of the conduct that authorized the award or vacate its order. Porter v.
