CourtSouth Carolina Supreme Court
PartiesPickens K. MOYD, M.D., Respondent, v. Mordecai C. JOHNSON and Frank E. Cain, Jr., Appellants.
ORDER

This is an appeal of a circuit court order which overruled a motion to dismiss the complaint under Rule 12(b)(6), SCRCP, for failure to state a cause of action. Respondent moves to dismiss the appeal.

We hold that the denial of a Rule 12(b)(6) motion is not directly appealable under S.C.Code Ann. § 14-3-330 (1976). Therefore, the appeal is dismissed without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
