Opinions

Eberhardt, Judge.

1. Although the accused was indicted, tried and convicted of armed robbery, this appeal lies within the jurisdiction of this court because it is from the denial of motions to quash the indictment and of a plea in bar (former jeopardy) and is not from the judgment of conviction. Harris v. State, 190 Ga. 773 (10 SE2d 752).

2. Since the judgments appealed from are not final and are' not among those specifically designated as appealable under Code Ann. § 6-701, and the record shows no certificate authorizing review, the appeal must be dismissed. See, e.g., Aikens v. State, [548]*548226 Ga. 34 (172 SE2d 430); Thomas v. State, 226 Ga. 529 (175 SE2d 874); Carlisle v. Carlisle, 227 Ga. 221 (179 SE2d 769); Bruce v. State, 122 Ga. App. 159 (176 SE2d 515). The fact that defendant could have appealed from the sentence and judgment of conviction does not cure the fatal defect. See, e.g., Gibson v. Hodges, 221 Ga. 779 (3) (147 SE2d 329); Ruth v. Kennedy, 117 Ga. App. 632 (161 SE2d 410).

Argued September 17, 1971 Decided October 5, 1971. Alan M. Alexander, Jr., for appellant. Thomas W. Ridgway, District Attorney, John T. Strauss, Tony H. Hight, for appellee.

Appeal dismissed.

Hall, P. J., and Whitman, J., concur.
