UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

KENNETH E. TURRENTINE,

Petitioner - Appellant,

v.

MIKE MULLIN, Warden, Oklahoma State Penitentiary,

Respondent - Appellee.

No. 05-5106

ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before LUCERO, McCONNELL, and TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judges.

Petitioner, Kenneth Eugene Turrentine, filed an appeal in this matter on July 1, 2005. He appeals two orders entered by the district court on June 21, 2005. The district court's first order denied Turrentine's request for the appointment of counsel pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 848(q). The second order granted the withdrawal of Turrentine's counsel of record, Stephen Gruebel. Taking jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291 and 1331, we order as follows.

We reverse the court's order denying the appointment of counsel, and direct the district court to obtain replacement counsel for Mr. Turrentine as soon as practicable.

We affirm the district court's order granting Mr. Gruebel's motion to withdraw as counsel.1
