Judge COZORT
concurring.
The trial court granted partial summary judgment and left for trial the issues of (1) the fair market value of the personal property sold to P. S. Investment Company, Inc.; and (2) the amount of money damages, if any, plaintiff is entitled to recover. In Schuch v. Hoke, 82 N.C. App. 445, 346 S.E.2d 313 (1986), this Court held that a partial summary judgment order which establishes liability and reserves for trial the issue of damages is an interlocutory order not immediately appealable. See also Tridyn Industries v. American Mut. Ins. Co., 296 N.C. 486, 251 S.E.2d 443 (1979). I *583am unable to distinguish the instant case from Schuch and Tridyn, and I vote to dismiss the appeal.
