APPEAL DISMISSED

---

Zandra L. Johnson, of Greenville, for Appellants.

David Charles Alford, of Spartanburg, for Respondents.

PER CURIAM: Michael Shawn Thomas and Household Asset Company, Inc. appeal the circuit court's granting of a motion to restore the matter to the active trial docket.  Because the order on appeal grants a motion to restore, it is not a final judgment and is not immediately appealable.  See Shields v. Martin Marietta Corp., 303 S.C. 469, 470, 402 S.E.2d 482, 483 (1991) ("The decision on a motion to restore the case to the active docket is not a final judgment and is interlocutory and, therefore, not immediately appealable.").  Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.^[1]

APPEAL DISMISSED. 

SHORT, WILLIAMS, and GEATHERS, JJ., concur.

[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
