ENGLISH v. TUCKER FEDERAL SAVINGS & LOAN ASSOCIATION et al.
(332 SE2d 365)

Opinion:
Sognier, Judge.
Appellant obtained a judgment against appellee when it failed to answer the summons of garnishment. Appellee moved the trial court to set aside the judgment for failure to serve the proper party and insufficiency of service. The trial court granted the motion which leaves the case pending below as the complaint was not dismissed. This judgment therefore is not a final one. Mayson v. Malone, 122 Ga. App. 814 (178 SE2d 806) (1970). Because appellant failed to com ply with the interlocutory appeal procedure set forth in OCGA § 5-6-34 (b), the appeal is premature and must be dismissed. Finance America Corp. v. Drake, 151 Ga. App. 383 (259 SE2d 739) (1979).
Decided June 6, 1985.
