Affirmed.
Justice: 
ROCHFORD

In a dissolution of marriage matter, the supreme court considered whether in an appeal brought under SCR 304(a) the appellate court had jurisdiction to consider prior orders of the trial court denying appellant’s petition and motion for substitution of judge. The court affirmed the appellate court’s judgment concluding that it lacked jurisdiction to review the petition and motion, finding that the appellate court’s jurisdiction was limited to the intermediate final judgment that the circuit court certified for appeal.
