Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
This is an appeal from an order denying appellant's motion for new trial and judgment n. o. v. We cannot reach the merits of appellant's contentions, however, because the order has not been reduced to judgment and docketed. Accordingly, the appeal is premature and must be quashed. Slagter v.
