COREY v. RENARD.
Argued May 9, 1979
Decided September 20, 1979
Rehearing denied October 2, 1979
Don M. Jones, for appellant.
Ronald L. Hilley, for appellee.

Opinion:
Smith, Judge.
We granted this interlocutory appeal to deal with the trial court's imposing the sanction of default judgment against appellant-defendant. The court imposed that sanction under CPA § 37 (d) (Code Ann. § 81A-137 (d)), for appellant's failure to answer interrogatories propounded by appellee Renard. However, appellant had timely filed a motion for a protective order concerning the interrogatories. The court never ruled upon appellant's motion. While the protective order was pending, the entry of default judgment under CPA § 37 (d) was erroneous. See CPA § 37(d).
Judgment reversed.
Quillian, P. J., and Birdsong, J., concur.
