46104.
SUBMITTED APRIL 5, 1971.
DECIDED JULY 1, 1971.
Appellate procedure. Polk State Court. Before Judge Flournoy.
Marson G. Dunaway, Jr., for appellant.
Mundy, Gammage Cummings, William W. Mundy, for appellees.
After filing his complaint plaintiff made a motion to add another party defendant, Richard Wright, attaching to the motion an amended complaint alleging that the added party's negligence combined with the original defendant's negligence in causing plaintiff's injuries and damages. The trial court denied plaintiff's motion to add a party defendant and further dismissed the plaintiff's attempt to add the same party defendant by an amendment to his complaint. These judgments are not final. Zappa v. Ewing, 117 Ga. App. 362 ( 160 S.E.2d 640). There is no certificate of the judge either under Ga. L. 1968, p. 1072 ( Code Ann. § 6-701 (a2)) or CPA § 54 (b) ( Code Ann. § 81A-154 (b)). The appeal is premature and must be dismissed. See Davis v. Roper, 119 Ga. App. 442 167 S.E.2d 685); D. Davis Co. v. Plunkett, 119 Ga. App. 453 ( 167 S.E.2d 663); American Mut. Liab. Ins. Co. v. Moore, 120 Ga. App. 624 ( 171 S.E.2d 751).
Appeal dismissed. Bell, C. J., Pannell and Deen, JJ., concur.
