Appeal From Richland County
George M. McFaddin, Jr., Family Court Judge
Unpublished Opinion No. 2006-UP-318
Submitted May 1, 2006 Filed August 7, 2006
DISMISSED
Horace Reynolds, Jr., of Columbia, for Appellant
Diane Reynolds, of Columbia, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Appellant, Horace Reynolds, Jr., appeals from an order of the family court finding a non-lawyer prepared the legal documents in this matter, thus constituting the illegal practice of law . Reynolds bases his appeal on the family court judge’s dismissal of his action. On remand from this court, the family court clarified that it merely continued the hearing and did not dismiss the action. “It is well settled that an order granting a continuance is an interlocutory order not involving the merits and is, thus, not directly appealable. Walker v. Springs Indus., Inc., 298 S.C. 249, 251, 379 S.E.2d 729, 730 (Ct. App. 1989); Temples v. Ramsey, 285 S.C. 600, 602, 330 S.E.2d 558, 559 (Ct. App. 1985).
We therefore dismiss this appeal from an interlocutory order.[1]
APPEAL DISMISSED.
HUFF, STILWELL, and BEATTY JJ., concur.
[1]We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
