IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. AP-76,050

KENNITH W. LORENTZ, Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS

ON DIRECT APPEAL FROM THE DENIAL OF A MOTION TO RECUSE 
FILED IN CAUSE NO. CR-24878-A IN THE 159TH DISTRICT COURT

ANGELINA COUNTY

Per Curiam.

O P I N I O N

	This is a direct appeal of the denial of a motion to recuse filed in the 159th District 
Court of Angelina County, Cause No. CR-24878-A, styled Ex parte Kennith W. Lorentz.  
Appellant asserts that Judge Paul E. White should have been recused or disqualified from
presiding over his habeas case because the judge had a bias against the first claim raised
in the habeas application in which appellant alleged that Judge White appointed his trial
counsel in violation of a statute and local rule.
	After reviewing the habeas application and the record of the proceedings, we have
determined that this appeal is not properly before us.  It is, therefore, dismissed.
