        "text": "MR. JUSTICE DRUCKER\ndelivered the opinion of the court.\nDefendant filed a motion requesting this court to reverse and remand this cause for a new trial, asserting that from the short record and papers on file in this court it is apparent that error was committed. Defendant claims that the trial court, over objection, commenced the trial without a court file; that the file was not located during the trial and remains missing; that the court, ex parte, granted a motion for new trial but later vacated its order and reinstated the judgment against the defendant.\nPlaintiff filed a motion to dismiss defendant\u2019s appeal for failure to file a notice of appeal in proper time. That motion has not been determined because the short record did not contain all the relevant orders.\nA short record shall contain \u201cenough of the record on appeal to show a final order, judgment. ...\u201d In considering defendant\u2019s motion to reverse and remand we find that the alleged \u201cjudgment\u201d appealed from, as appears in the short record, reads as follows:\n\u201cTHE COURT FINDS FOR THE PLAINTIFF ON THE STATEMENT OF CLAIM AND FURTHER FINDS FOR THE DEFENDANT ON THE COUNTERCLAIM.\u201d\nThis is not a final or appealable order but is merely a finding by the court. Wilke Metal Products, Inc. v. David Architectural Metals, Inc., 55 Ill App2d 34, 204 NE2d 35. An appeal will be dismissed by the reviewing court on its own motion where no final judgment was entered in the trial court. Reynolds v. Wangelin, 314 Ill App 12, 40 NE2d 900. Defendant\u2019s appeal is dismissed.\nAppeal dismissed.\nMcCORMICK, P. J. and ENGLISH, J., concur.\nRule 5(2) (g) Appellate Court Rules First District \u2014 Supreme Court Rule 36(2) (b) [111 Rev Stats (1963), c 110, \u00a7 36(2) (b)].",
