1Opinion of the CourtDay, J.

This is a review of a decision of the court of appeals, published at 99 Wis.2d 407, 299 N.W.2d 292 (Ct. App. 1980), dismissing an appeal from a judgment of the circuit court for Milwaukee county: ROBERT J. MIECH, Circuit Judge.

There is a single question presented for review: Is a judgment dismissing a complaint a final appealable judgment if a counterclaim for abuse of process, which was severed for trial, has not been determined? We hold that such a judgment is not a final judgment appealable as of right under sec. 808.03(1), Stats. 1977, and affirm the court of appeals.
