Ramona Constantaras v. Aldridge Connors, LLP.

Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ March 23, 2015 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A15A1243. RAMONA CONSTANTARAS et al. v. ALDRIDGE CONNORS, LLP. Ramona and Basil Constantaras filed a direct appeal of the trial court’s order granting defendant Aldridge Connors, LLP’s motion to dismiss. We, however, lack jurisdiction. “In a case involving multiple parties or multiple claims, a decision adjudicating fewer than all the claims or the rights and liabilities of less than all the parties is not a final judgment.” (Punctuation omitted.) Johnson v. Hosp. Corp. of America, 192 Ga. App. 628, 629 ( 385 SE2d 731 ) (1989); see also Yates v. CACV of Colorado, 295 Ga. App. 69 ( 670 SE2d 884 ) (2008). Here, the trial court’s order grants Aldridge Connor LLP’s motion to dismiss, but the case remains pending as to the remaining defendants. Thus, it is not a final judgment. To appeal that order, the Constantarases were required to comply with the interlocutory appeal procedure of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b). See Johnson, supra. Because they failed to do so, this appeal is DISMISSED.
