Text: Ancora-Citronelle moves to dismiss the appeal on the ground that a final judgment was entered against Miller Oil on June 23, 1977, pursuant to Rule 54(b), A.R.C.P., in favor of it and against Miller, and that Miller did not file an appeal within forty-two days from the date of the circuit court's decision on Miller's motion for reconsideration of the June 23, 1977, order, or within fourteen days from the date of the notice of appeal filed by Ancora on September 13, 1977. The notice of appeal filed by Ancora on September 13, 1977, included Ancora-Citronelle as a party to the appeal, but Ancora-Citronelle claims that this notice of appeal which was filed by Ancora in no way presents for review the judgment entered June 23, 1977, in favor of Ancora-Citronelle, and against Miller, and that since Miller has not appealed that judgment, its correctness is not before this Court. Suffice it to say, that Ancora-Citronelle is so intertwined in this case that its absence would create an injustice. City of Tuscaloosa v. Fair, 232 Ala. 129, 167 So. 276 (1936). Ancora-Citronelle's motion to dismiss the appeal is therefore denied. REVERSED AND REMANDED; MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL DENIED. TORBERT, C. J., and JONES, SHORES and BEATTY, JJ. concur.
