Littlejohn, Justice
(concurring) :
I concur in the result of the opinion by Mr. Justice Lewis, but under a different reasoning.
I am of the opinion that when the judge’s order of October 22, 1970 was filed with the clerk of court it became a final judgment. No authority has been cited for a judge to review his own decrees in this State, and I know of none. The sole remedy of either party who felt aggrieved was an appeal to this Court.
In my view the judge should have dismissed the motion on the ground that he had no authority to redetermine the issues, and I would reverse the order because of his failure to so dismiss the motion.
