Opinions

Sognier, Judge.

On July 22, 1987, appellant was adjudicated a delinquent in the Juvenile Court of Bibb County for trafficking in cocaine, and he filed a notice of appeal from the adjudication order. The adjudication order transferred the case to the Juvenile Court of Gwinnett County, as [292]*292Gwinnett County was appellant’s place of residence. Prior to disposition appellant’s parents sold their home in Gwinnett County and moved to Whitfield County; therefore, the case was transferred to the Juvenile Court of Whitfield County for disposition. No disposition of the case had been made at the time appellant filed his notice of appeal, and there is nothing in the record to indicate that the Juvenile Court of Whitfield County has held a dispositional hearing or entered a dispositional order.

OCGA § 15-11-64 provides, in pertinent part: “In all cases of final judgments of a juvenile court judge, appeals shall be taken to the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court in the same manner as appeals from the superior court. ...” This court has held that an adjudication order alone is not a final, appealable judgment under the provisions of the Juvenile Court Code, and absent a certificate for immediate review, the appeal must be dismissed. M. K. H. v. State of Ga., 132 Ga. App. 143, 144 (207 SE2d 645) (1974). See also Sanchez v. Walker County DFCS, 135 Ga. App. 891, 893 (4) (219 SE2d 583) (1975). Since there is no certificate for immediate review in this case, the appeal must be dismissed.

Appeal dismissed.

Deen, P. J., and Carley, J., concur specially.
