Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-18-00178-CR ____________________

CHRISTOPHER MANUEL PEREZ, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _______________________________________________________ ______________

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 5 Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 18-329214 ________________________________________________________ _____________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On February 16, 2018, the trial court sentenced Christopher Manuel Perez on

a conviction for possession of marijuana. Perez filed a notice of appeal on May 1,

2018. The trial court signed a certification in which the court certified that this is a

plea-bargain case and the defendant has no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P.

25.2(a)(2). The district clerk has provided the trial court’s certification to the Court

of Appeals. On May 3, 2018, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal

unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. No response has

1 been filed. Because the trial court’s certification shows the defendant does not have

the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
