Opinion

In The

Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-14-00535-CR ____________________

GUILLERMO BARRIGA FLORES, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _______________________________________________________ ______________

On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 1 Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 14-301795 ________________________________________________________ _____________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On November 7, 2014, the trial court sentenced Guillermo Barriga Flores on

a conviction for possession of marijuana. Flores filed a notice of appeal on

December 5, 2014. 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 December 9, 2014, we notified the parties that we

would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing

the appeal. On January 9, 2015, the trial court denied the appellant’s request for

permission to appeal. 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.
