                                MEMORANDUM OPINION^[1]

Gholamereza Vafaiyan, a/k/a Gholumreza Vafaiyan and Reza Vafaiyan, pro se, is attempting to appeal the trial court=s order denying his motion to recuse the Honorable Mark T. Price from presiding over his case.

An order denying a motion to recuse is not appealable until a final judgment has been rendered in the case.^[2]  On December 14, 2006, we notified appellant of our concern that we lacked jurisdiction over the appeal and that, unless he filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal, the appeal was subject to dismissal for want of jurisdiction.^[3]  No response has been filed.  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.^[4]    

PER CURIAM
