There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.
Input: to the Knoedlers' claims. In fact, despite a review of the record, this Court is unable to find any further reference to the Blinco counterclaim subsequent to the Knoedlers' answer. The trial court's summary-judgment orders left pending the Blincos' counterclaim, and there is no Rule 54(b), Ala. R. Civ. P., certification that the judgments are final. Consequently, the summary-judgment orders are nonfinal judgments, which will not support an appeal. See Bon Harbor, LLC v. United Bank, supra (dismissing appeal on grounds that trial court's summary-judgment order, which left pending defendants' counterclaims, was, at best, an order entering a partial summary judgment and not a "final, ap-pealable judgment"); Hill v. Huntsville West Ltd. Partnership, 847 So.2d 375, 376 (Ala.Civ.App.2002) (<HOLDING>). APPEAL DISMISSED. COBB, C.J., and WOODALL,
