Court of Appeals of the State of Georgia ATLANTA,____________________ May 16, 2016 The Court of Appeals hereby passes the following order: A16A1616. TANDRA TEMPLE v. GEORGE HILLEGASS et al.

Tandra Temple sued multiple defendants for several causes of action, including breach of fiduciary duty and fraud. The trial court granted a motion to dismiss filed by three defendants, and Temple filed this direct appeal. We 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. In such circumstances, there must be an express determination under OCGA § 9-11-54 (b) or there must be compliance with the interlocutory appeal requirements of OCGA § 5-6-34 (b). Where neither of these code sections are followed, the appeal is premature and must be dismissed.” Johnson v. Hosp. Corp. of America, 192 Ga. App. 628, 629 (385 SE2d 731) (1989) (punctuation and citation omitted.); see also Underwood v. Dunn, 215 Ga. App. 252 (451 SE2d 129) (1994).

Here, based upon the record before us, it appears that claims remain pending below.1 Accordingly, the dismissal order was interlocutory, and this appeal is hereby DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.

It appears that claims against Marshall Hammel Haas, Haas Group, Inc., Kenneth Schatten, Schatten Law Firm, Lance Gowens and Gowens Law Firm remain pending.
