BIRDSONG, Judge.
Where the defendants' counterclaim is still pending in the trial court, an order of that court dismissing the main complaint against such defendants is not directly appealable. Code Ann. § 6-701 (a) (1); Hubert v. Lawson, 142 Ga. App. 573 ( 237 S.E.2d 18). Absent proper certification from the trial judge, accompanied by an application for immediate review, the appeal is not subject to review by this court and is therefore premature. Code Ann. § 6-701 (a) (2); Branan Schmitz Realty v. Ellis, 133 Ga. App. 224 ( 211 S.E.2d 173).
Appeal dismissed. Bell, C. J., and Shulman, J., concur.
