JORDAN, Judge.
An order of the trial judge sustaining plaintiff's oral motion to strike an amended answer and cross action as barred by the statute of limitation, leaves the case pending in the court below and is not a final judgment from which an appeal will lie. Dove v. Maxwell, 184 Ga. 460 ( 191 S.E. 916); Code Ann. § 6-701. The appeal must be dismissed pursuant to Section 13 (b) of the Appellate Practice Act of 1965, as amended (Ga. L. 1966, pp. 493, 500). Birdwell v. Pippen, 113 Ga. App. 202 ( 147 S.E.2d 673). See Darden v. Roberts, 193 Ga. 637 ( 19 S.E.2d 270); Sanders v. Sanders, 212 Ga. 244 ( 91 S.E.2d 604), and cases cited therein for numerous rulings to the same effect.
Appeal dismissed. Bell, P. J., and Eberhardt, J., concur.
ARGUED NOVEMBER 9, 1966 — DECIDED DECEMBER 2, 1966.
