   ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF APPEALS

Per Curiam:

Petitioner seeks a writ of certiorari to review the decision of the Court of Appeals in Johnson v. Paraplane Corporation, — S.C. —, 460 S.E. (2d) 398 (Ct. App. 1995). We grant the petition for a writ of certiorari, vacate the opinion of the Court of Appeals, and dismiss both parties’ appeals.

Petitioner and respondent appealed from the order of the circuit court denying respondents’ motion for summary judgment, finding that the circuit court had subject matter jurisdiction, and compelling arbitration. Since this order is not directly appealable, we hereby vacate the opinion of the Court of Appeals in Johnson v. Paraplane Corporation, supra, and dismiss both parties’ appeals. No costs or attorneys’ fees pursuant to Rule 222, SCACR, shall be assessed.

Vacated.

Toal, A.J., not participating.

Destiny, S.C. Sup. Ct. Order dated June 28, 1995 (Davis Adv. Sh. No. 19) (an order compelling arbitration is not immediately appealable); Ballenger v. Bowen, 313 S.C. 476, 443 S.E. (2d) 379 (1994) (an order denying a motion for summary judgment is not immediately appealable).
