WEBB, Judge.
The answer, including a counterclaim, was stricken pursuant to Rule 41 (Code Ann. § 24-3341) upon failure of defendant's counsel or defendant to appear, judgment by default was entered, and defendant appeals. The record indicates, however, that defendant filed a motion to set aside the default judgment, and there apparently has been no disposition of that motion. The case thus is still pending below, there is no certificate for immediate review, the appeal is premature and must be dismissed. Code Ann. § 6-701 (a); Lee v. Morrison, 135 Ga. App. 72 ( 217 S.E.2d 395) (1975); Shuford v. Jackson, 139 Ga. App. 469 ( 228 S.E.2d 605) (1976).
Appeal dismissed. Deen, P. J., and Marshall, J., concur.
ARGUED MAY 4, 1977 — DECIDED MAY 5, 1977.
