Angela Bair v. State Auto Property & Casualty Company
Angela Bair v. State Auto Property & Casualty Company
Opinion
Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,__________________ April 26, 2013 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A13A1314. ANGELA BAIR v. STATE AUTO PROPERTY & CASUALTY COMPANY.
After a car accident, Angela Bair filed suit against three defendants, including State Automobile Property & Casualty Company. Subsequently, State Auto filed a motion to dismiss based on improper service of process. The trial court granted that motion, and Bair filed this direct appeal.
“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 and citation omitted.) Johnson v. Hosp. Corp. of America, 192 Ga. App. 628, 629 (385 SE2d 731) (1989). Here, although the trial court has resolved Bair’s claims against State Auto, her claims against Defendant Rosemary Rozelle remain pending. Therefore, the challenged order is not a final order, and it is appealable only through the interlocutory appeal procedures set forth in OCGA § 5-6-34 (b). See id. Because Bair has failed to comply with the interlocutory appeal procedures, this appeal is hereby DISMISSED.
