MELTON v. GRIDER

EBERHARDT, Judge.

In an action seeking property damages resulting from an automobile collision, an order striking the answer and cross action of the defendants and refusing to open the default is not an order which can be directly appealed from under the Appellate Practice Act (Ga. L. 1965, p. 18, as amended; Code Ann. § 6-701) without the certification of the trial judge as permitted by Ga. L. 1968, pp. 1072, 1073 ( Code Ann. § 6-701(a)2). Mills v. Sauls, 90 Ga. App. 257 ( 82 S.E.2d 716); Nye v. Murcel Mfg. Co., 116 Ga. App. 44 ( 156 S.E.2d 383); Howard v. Thomas, 224 Ga. 515 ( 162 S.E.2d 723); Norbo Trading Corp. v. Wohlmuth, 223 Ga. 258 ( 154 S.E.2d 224).

Accordingly the appeal must be

Dismissed. Bell, P. J., and Deen, J., concur.
