Opinion
63852.
DECIDED MAY 3, 1982.
Action for damages. Habersham Superior Court. Before Judge Gunter.
Douglas W. McDonald, for appellant.
Linton K. Crawford, Jr., for appellee.
This appeal is from an order of the trial court dismissing the appellant's counterclaim. The dismissal of a counterclaim is not a final order within the meaning of Code Ann. § 6-701 and is appealable only under the procedures for interlocutory review set forth in the statute. Since those procedures were not followed in this case, the appeal must be dismissed. See Lowe v. Payne, 130 Ga. App. 337 ( 203 S.E.2d 309) (1973).
Appeal dismissed. McMurray, P. J., and Birdsong, J., concur.
