        "text": "Robert H. Dudley, Justice.\nAda Story and her minor daughter, Angel Renee Page, filed a paternity suit in the County Court of Lee County alleging that Richard Hodges, the appellee, was the father of Renee. The referee ordered the standard ABO blood tests to be made and found that appellee was not the father. An appeal was taken to the Circuit Court of Lee County and appellants again asked for blood tests and the court so ordered.\nAppellants then moved in limine for the court to declare Ark. Stat. Ann. \u00a7 34-705.1 (Repl. 1962) unconstitutional. This statute allows blood tests in evidence only to exclude paternity. It is contended that blood tests now should be admitted to establish paternity because a relatively new test, Human Leukocyte Antigen, can determine paternity with a reasonable degree of medical certainty. The trial court did not find a denial of equal protection and this appeal is from that ruling.\nThis evidentiary ruling is not an appealable order. The general rule is that appeals lie only when and if there is a judgment. Nolan v. Manning, 241 Ark. 422, 407 S.W. 2d 937 (1966); Arkansas Rules of Appellate Procedure, Rule 2 (Vol. 3A, Repl. 1979).\nAppeal dismissed.\nHolt, J., not participating.",
