1. ““A final order is one affecting a substantial right in an action when it in effect determines the action and prevents a judgment. “An order sustaining any motion which results in dismissing an action has both effects mentioned in paragraph 1 and is appealable. An order overruling such a motion has neither of such effects and is not appealable. “The denial of a motion to strike or dismiss an appeal, from the award of appraisers, to the district court is not one of the orders of that court from which error lies to this court until the final disposition of the action.” (Syl. HIT 1, 2 and 3.)”
