BRANAN & SCHMITZ REALTY, INC. v. ELLIS.

Opinion:
Quillian, Judge.
Where as in the case sub judice the defendant's counterclaim is still pending in the trial court, an appeal complaining of the granting of a judgment on the pleadings for the defendant in the main complaint is not a final judgment. Without a proper certificate from the trial judge, the appeal is therefore premature. Brown v. Elliott, 115 Ga. App. 89, 90 (153 SE2d 665); Conte Enterprises v. Romax Const. Co., 128 Ga. App. 121 (195 SE2d 798); O'Kelley v. Evans, 223 Ga. 512 (156 SE2d 450).
