*462BECK, Judge,
concurring:
I concur in the result.
The majority quashes this appeal from an order dismissing some but not all of appellant’s claims for relief against appellee. The majority does so because it finds that under Praisner v. Stocker, 313 Pa.Super. 332, 459 A.2d 1255, 1259 (1983), the order appealed from did not put appellant out of court on a separate cause of action.
I agree that the appeal should be quashed. However, my conclusion flows not from an application of Praisner’s appealability criteria, i.e., dismissal of a separate cause of action, but rather from the simple fact that appellant is not out of court on all of the claims for relief she set forth in her complaint against appellee. Appellant is still in court and there is no reason to allow an immediate appeal from an order dismissing only a portion of appellant’s case against this defendant.
As to the general viability of Praisner, I refer to and fully incorporate herein my opinion in Trackers Raceway, Inc. v. Comstock, 400 Pa.Super. 432, 583 A.2d 1193 (1990) (en banc) (Beck, J., dissenting), in which I conclude that the doctrine of appealability announced in Praisner should no longer be applied.
