Deen, Presiding Judge,
concurring specially.
While concurring generally with the majority opinion, I must concur specially to suggest the following clarification. A prematurely filed motion for new trial is void. Harrison v. Harrison, 229 Ga. 692 (1) (194 SE2d 87) (1972). That is why, as held by the majority opinion in Division 2, since the only enumerations of error concern the trial court’s denial of the appellant’s prematurely filed motion for new *416trial, affirmance is mandated.
Decided June 3, 1988.
Walter S. Chew, Jr., for appellants.
Verlin L. Jones, Jr., for appellees.
