DUARTE, J.
Although under certain circumstances we have discretion to permit a premature appeal from a nonappealable order to be treated as timely filed after the ensuing judgment, there is a limit to our willingness to salvage appeals for parties “who ignore the statutory limitations on appealable orders.” (Cohen v. Equitable Life Assurance Society (1987) 196 Cal.App.3d 669, 671 [242 Cal.Rptr. 84].) In this case, plaintiff has exceeded that limit. We publish this case to illustrate that limit, and also to emphasize that it is imperative to appeal from an appealable order.
