| Decision Date | 17 January 1983 |
| Docket Number | GMC-IM,I |
| Citation | 300 S.E.2d 78,278 S.C. 571 |
| Court | South Carolina Supreme Court |
| Parties | David Lamar GODLEY, Respondent, v. UNIROYAL INC., General Motors Corporation and Sweat Pontiac-Buick-nc., Defendants, of whom General Motors Corporation and Sweat Pontiac-Buick-nc., are Appellants. |
Ladson F. Howell, of Howell, Barnes, Bowers & Gibson, Beaufort, and Richard B. Watson, of Nelson, Mullins, Grier & Scarborough, Columbia, for appellants.
J. Robert Peters, Jr., of Peters, Murdaugh, Parker, Eltzroth & Detrick, Hampton, for respondent.
Wade H. Logan, III, of Holmes, Thomson, Logan & Cantrell, Charleston, for defendants.
This matter is currently before the Court on respondent's motion to dismiss the appeal. Appellants appealed from a circuit court order denying their motion for a change of venue.
It is generally held that an order granting or refusing a change of venue is interlocutory and therefore not immediately appealable. See 4 C.J.S. Appeal & Error § 115(a) (1957). Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed without prejudice.
This order is to be published with the opinions of this Court.
