Appeal From Order Of Good Faith Settlement Dismissed.

The trial court approved a condominium developer defendant’s motion for a determination of a good faith settlement, and another defendant filed an appeal from the trial court’s order.  The Court of Appeal dismissed, holding the appeal was from a non-appealable interlocutory order.  The court noted Civil Code §877.6 permits review by writ of mandate within 20 days, and that 20 days had expired when the appeal was filed [leaving open, of course, the question of whether or not the appellate court might have treated the appeal as a petition for extraordinary relief had it been filed within 20 days.].
