Supreme Court of South Carolina, 1982

State v. Hubbard

State v. Hubbard
Supreme Court of South Carolina · Decided April 14, 1982 · Per Curiam
290 S.E.2d 817; 277 S.C. 568; 1982 S.C. LEXIS 320 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Hubbard

Opinion

Per Curiam:

The appellants are charged with gambling and operating a gambling house. Before the jury was sworn, the appellants moved to suppress evidence seized in a search of the premises where they were arrested. This appeal is from the denial of that motion. We dismiss the appeal.

The appellants have not yet gone to trial. An appeal in a criminal case must attend the final judgment rendered on the indictment. State v. McMillan, 189 S. C. 444, 1 S. E. (2d) 626 (1939). No final judgment has occurred in this case and the order appealed from is interlocutory. State v. Thomas, 275 S. C. 274, 269 S. E. (2d) 768 (1980).

Therefore, we dismiss the appeal and remand the case for trial.
