MARVIN BLEDSOE, Plaintiff and Appellant, v. INFORMATIVE RESEARCH, Defendant and Respondent.
Evans, Taves & Tuekerman and Richard Evans for Plaintiff and Appellant.

Opinion:
ROTH, P. J.
Appellant purports to appeal ". . . from that certain judgment and order of the Court sustaining the demurrer . to paintiff's fourth amended complaint, without leave to amend as to the first cause of action and with leave to amend as to the second and third causes of action. ' ' There is, however, no judgment.
No appeal lies from orders sustaining or overruling a demurrer. Such orders are reviewable on appeal only from a judgment of dismissal entered pursuant to the court's orders with respect to the demurrer. (Vibert v. Berger, 64 Cal.2d 65, 67 [48 Cal.Rptr. 886, 410 P.2d 390]; Cole v. Rush, 40 Cal.2d 178 [252 P.2d 1] ; Evans v. Dabney, 37 Cal.2d 758, 759 [235 P.2d 604]; Beazell v. Schrader, 205 Cal.App.2d 673, 674 [23 Cal.Rptr. 189]; Curnutt v. Holk, 203 Cal.App.2d 6, 7 [21 Cal.Rptr. 224]; Dumm v. Pacific Valves, 146 Cal.App.2d 792, 794 [304 P.2d 738]; see Code Civ. Proc., § 963.)
The courts have been generous in the application of the rule enunciated in eases where the notice of appeal has been filed from the order when there is a subsequent entry of judgment. (See Vibert v. Berger, supra.) However, as stated in Curnutt, supra, when there has been no judgment, ". . . there is no assurance that the trial judge may not reconsider his decision, ' ' in which ease there would be no cause for appeal.
The appeal is dismissed.
