WEBB, Judge.

This is an appeal from an order denying plaintiffs' motion to add various parties defendant and dismissing the complaint as to them. Since the order appealed from is not a final judgment ( Smith v. Winer, 219 Ga. 738 ( 135 S.E.2d 892) (1964); White v. Wright, 124 Ga. App. 151 ( 183 S.E.2d 90) (1971)), and the interlocutory appeal procedure specified by Code Ann. § 6-701 (a) 2 has not been followed, the motion to dismiss the appeal must be granted. Tingle v. Lokey Bowden, 137 Ga. App. 368 ( 223 S.E.2d 763) (1976); Chambers v. Lowe's of Doraville, 138 Ga. App. 626 ( 227 S.E.2d 92) (1976).

Appeal dismissed. Deen, P. J., and Marshall, J., concur.

ARGUED JANUARY 5, 1977 — DECIDED JANUARY 12, 1977.
