¶1This is an untimely appeal and is due to be dismissed.
¶2Appellant filed a posttrial motion on July 25, 1984. The motion was continued in compliance with rule 59.1, Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure, and denied, after hearing, on October 30, 1984.

Therefore, this appeal is not timely under rule 4(a) and 4(a)(3), Alabama Rules of Appellate Procedure, and is hereby dismissed.
¶3Appellee’s request for an attorney’s fee on appeal is denied.
