PER CURIAM

Appeal dismissed.


Plaintiff appeals from an order in a habeas corpus proceeding sustaining a demurrer to his replication to the return to the writ. The order appealed from provides: "It is ordered that the demurrer be sustained, with plaintiff being allowed to plead further." An order sustaining a demurrer is not appealable. J. Gregcin, Inc. v. City of Dayton, 287 Or. 709, 601 P.2d 1254 (1979). No order dismissing plaintiff's petition has been entered. See Scott v. Cupp, 55 Or. App. 23, 637 P.2d 173 (1981).

Proceeding by habeas corpus is a civil proceeding. Holland v. Gladden, 229 Or. 573, 368 P.2d 331 (1962). Demurrers shall not be used. ORCP 13C.

Appeal dismissed.
