EX PARTE JAY YOON CHUNG
From the County Court at Law Navarro County, Texas
Trial Court No. C34587-CR
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Jay Yoon Chung appeals the denial of a motion to recuse the trial court judge from Chung's article 11.07 habeas proceeding. The denial of a motion to recuse is appealable on a final judgment only. See In re Norman, 191 S.W.3d 858, 860 (Tex. App. — Houston [14th Dist.] 2006, orig. proceeding). There is no final judgment in the proceeding below.
Further, only the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has jurisdiction in final post-conviction felony proceedings. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07 (West 2015); Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).
Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
Notwithstanding the dismissal, Chung may file a motion for rehearing with this Court within 15 days after this opinion and judgment are rendered if Chung believes this opinion and judgment are erroneously based on inaccurate information or documents. See TEX. R. APP. P. 49.1. Moreover, if Chung desires to have the opinion and judgment of this Court reviewed by filing a petition for discretionary review, that petition must be filed with the Court of Criminal Appeals within 30 days after either the day this Court's judgment is rendered or the day the last timely motion for rehearing is overruled by this Court. See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.2(a).
