PartiesLeo TELLEFSEN, Plaintiff and Appellant, v. KEY SYSTEM TRANSIT LINES, a corporation, Defendant and Respondent.

T. G. Fitzgerald, San Rafael, for appellant.

Hardin, Fletcher, Cook & Hayes, Oakland (Cyril Viadro, San Francisco, of counsel), for respondent.

BRAY, Presiding Justice.

Plaintiff purports to appeal from an order sustaining without leave to amend defendant's demurrer to his first amended complaint.

On January 26, 1959, a minute order was entered statind: 'The Court being fully advised orders that the demurrer to the complaint be and the same is hereby sustained, without leave to amend.' No judgment thereon has been entered.

It is well settled that an order sustaining a demurrer without leave to amend is not an appealable order or a final judgment, and that a reviewing court does not have jurisdiction to review an appeal of this type. Futlick v. F. W. Woolworth Co., 149 Cal.App.2d 296, 298, 308 P.2d 405; Schmidt v. Townsend, 103 Cal.App.2d 185, 186-187, 229 P.2d 488; Brown v. Mayor and City Council, 174 Cal.App.2d 763, 345 P.2d 75; see also 3 Witkin, California Procedure, p. 2162, § 19.

The purported appeal is dismissed.

TOBRINER and DUNIWAY, JJ., concur.
