433 A.2d 93 (Pa. Super. Ct. 1981)

Opinion

Argued June 9, 1980.

Filed July 31, 1981.

Appeal from the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Civil Action No. 1940, June Term, 1972; Wilson, Judge

Robert C. Heim, Philadelphia, for appellant.

Matthew J. Ryan, III, Philadelphia, for appellee.

Before PRICE, WICKERSHAM and LIPEZ, JJ.


No judgment was entered in this appeal from the lower court's order dismissing exceptions to its verdict after a non-jury trial. Entry of judgment is a prerequisite to our exercise of jurisdiction. Slaseman v. Myers, 285 Pa. Super. 167, 168, 427 A.2d 165, 166 (1981), rearg. den'd. An order refusing a new trial, without entry of final judgment, is interlocutory and nonappealable. Folcarelli v. Transportation Services, Inc., 284 Pa. Super. 487, 426 A.2d 152 (1981). This appeal must therefore be quashed sua sponte. Id., 284 Pa.Super. at 489 n. 1, 426 A.2d at 153 n. 1.

Appeal quashed.
