Appellate procedure. DeKalb Superior Court. Before Judge Allen.

Margaret Hopkins, James R. Venable, for appellant.

Harris Simmons, Robert B. Harris, Nancy Pat Phillips, for appellee.

QUILLIAN, Judge.

Where as in the case sub judice there is no express determination that there is no just reason for delay nor an express direction for the entry of judgment under Section 54 (b) of the Civil Practice Act (Code Ann. § 81A-154 (b); Ga. L. 1966, pp. 609, 658), nor is there a certificate for immediate review under Section 1 (a) (2) of the Appellate Practice Act (Code Ann. § 6-701 (a2); Ga. L. 1965, p. 18; 1968, pp. 1072, 1073), an appeal from an order dismissing the plaintiff's claim is premature when there is a counterclaim pending in the court below. Butler Auction Co. v. Hosch, 119 Ga. App. 562 ( 167 S.E.2d 684); O'Kelley v. Evans, 223 Ga. 512, 513 ( 156 S.E.2d 450).

Appeal dismissed. Bell, C. J., and Deen, J., concur.
