QUILLIAN, Judge.
Where as in the case sub judice the defendant's counterclaim is still pending in the trial court, an appeal complaining of the granting of a judgment on the pleadings for the defendant in the main complaint is not a final judgment. Without a proper certificate from the trial judge, the appeal is therefore premature. Brown v. Elliott, 115 Ga. App. 89, 90 ( 153 S.E.2d 665); Conte Enterprises v. Romax Const. Co., 128 Ga. App. 121 ( 195 S.E.2d 798); O'Kelley v. Evans, 223 Ga. 512 ( 156 S.E.2d 450).
Appeal dismissed. Bell, C. J., and Clark, J., concur.
SUBMITTED OCTOBER 7, 1974 — DECIDED NOVEMBER 6, 1974.
