ORDER

1
The defendant in this criminal proceeding filed a motion to disqualify the trial judge on grounds of personal bias.  The district court denied the motion on October 26, 1990, and the defendant filed a notice of appeal.

2
It is the long-standing rule of this Court that orders denying motions to disqualify a trial judge are fully reviewable after entry of final judgment and cannot be appealed immediately as an interlocutory appeal.   In re:  City of Detroit, 828 F.2d 1160, 1165 (6th Cir.1987) (per curiam);  Albert v. United States District Court, 283 F.2d 61, 62 (6th Cir.1960), cert. denied, 365 U.S. 828 (1961);  Collier v. Picard, 237 F.2d 234, 235 (6th Cir.1956) (per curiam).   Accord United States v. Gregory, 656 F.2d 1132, 1136 (5th Cir.1981);  United States v. State of Washington, 573 F.2d 1121, 1122 (9th Cir.1978).

3
