On Motion for Rehearing.
Per curiam.
In a motion for rehearing, appellant argues that we have overlooked the provisions of Code Ann. § 6-701 (b) that say when an appeal is taken under § 6-701 (a) "all judgments, rulings or orders rendered in the case which are raised on appeal, and which may affect the proceedings bielow, shall be reviewed and determined by the appellate court, without regard to the appealability of such judgment, ruling or order standing alone, ...”
This section has not been overlooked in this case because a review of the "judgments, rulings or orders” provided by § (b) is dependent upon a proper appeal first being taken under § 6-701 (a) (1) or (2). In plain terms, the provisions of Code Ann. § 6-701 (b) begin with the sentence, that "[wjhere an appeal is taken under any provision of paragraph (a),” the other judgments, rulings and orders in the case will be reviewed and determined on appeal.
The present appeal has to be dismissed because no proper appeal was taken under Code Ann. § 6-701 (a) (1) or (2) and, therefore, we cannot reach the other judgments, rulings and orders of the trial court in this case.

The motion for rehearing must be denied.

All the Justices concur, except Jordan and Hall, JJ., who dissent.
