Davis v. Davis
Davis v. Davis
Opinion of the Court
1. This appeal is from a judgment of the trial court setting aside on motion a default judgment entered against a garnishee. Such an order is not a final judgment. Finch v. Kilgore, 120 Ga. App. 320 (170 SE2d 304); Wright v. Wright, 139 Ga. App. 60. There is no certificate of immediate review and no application for an appeal under Code Ann. § 6-701 (a). The appeal in the main case is premature and nonreviewable. As to the constitutionality of the statute on which the garnishment is based, see Coursin v. Harper, 236 Ga. 729 (225 SE2d 428).
2. In the cross appeal, the defendant complains of the denial of his motion for new trial following a judgment entered on a jury verdict on November 14, 1974. The motion for new trial, however, was not filed until March 3, 1975, more than 30 days after the verdict and final judgment, on the trial of an affidavit of illegality to an execution and levy. The appellant questioned this date by motion, and the trial court, after hearing evidence, held that the date shown on the papers and docket was in fact correct. This finding, not having been made the subject of an enumeration of error, is conclusive. Thus the motion for new trial was not filed within the time allowed so as to
in case no. 52375.
Appeals dismissed in both cases.
