Stephanie Maniscalco//December 4, 2014
Where plaintiff challenged a judgment dismissing without prejudice his second amended petition for failure to prosecute, the plaintiff was attempting to appeal trial court decisions that cannot be appealed since the quashing of service of process is normally not an appealable order since it is not considered a final judgment, so the appeal is dismissed for lack of a final, appealable judgment.
Appeal is dismissed.
