West v. West

Supreme Court of Georgia
Oct 23, 1972
193 S.E.2d 820 (Ga. 1972)

Opinion

27412.

SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 12, 1972.

DECIDED OCTOBER 23, 1972.

Divorce. Murray Superior Court. Before Judge Vining.

J. W. Yarbrough, for appellant.

Coy H. Temples, for appellee.


The appeal in this case is from a judgment of the trial court granting the wife, who had been awarded a divorce and alimony, a new trial. The record does not contain any order of court authorizing an immediate review and the judgment is neither a final judgment nor one granting or refusing to grant an application for alimony either temporary or permanent. Held:

Under the decisions exemplified by Fife v. Johnston, 225 Ga. 447 ( 169 S.E.2d 167), absent a certificate of immediate review, the judgment granting a new trial is not an appealable judgment (see also Holmes v. Holmes, 227 Ga. 238 ( 179 S.E.2d 775)), and this court has no choice but to dismiss the appeal.

Appeal dismissed. All the Justices concur.


SUBMITTED SEPTEMBER 12, 1972 — DECIDED OCTOBER 23, 1972.
