367 S.E.2d 886

Opinion

75174.

DECIDED MARCH 3, 1988.

Appeal dismissal. Pierce Superior Court. Before Judge Blount.

Francis Houston, Philip N. Golub, for appellant. Ronald B. Thomas, W. Vincent Settle III, for appellee.

CARLEY, Judge.

Appellant-defendant has filed this direct appeal from the grant of appellee-plaintiff's motion for new trial. The grant of a motion for new trial is not a final order from which a direct appeal may be taken. See Cotton States Mut. Ins. Co. v. Bishop, 170 Ga. App. 9 ( 316 S.E.2d 167) (1984); Days Inn of America v. Sharkey, 178 Ga. App. 718 ( 344 S.E.2d 518) (1986). Since appellant did not comply with the interlocutory appeal provisions of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b), this appeal must be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

Appeal dismissed. Banke, P. J., and Benham, J., concur.

DECIDED MARCH 3, 1988.
