Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-16-00191-CR ____________________

KARIM ISAM ANABTAWI, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _______________________________________________________ ______________

On Appeal from the 260th District Court Orange County, Texas Trial Cause No. D150390-R ________________________________________________________ _____________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On May 2, 2016, the trial court sentenced Karim Isam Anabtawi on a

conviction for driving while intoxicated. Anabtawi filed a notice of appeal. 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 and has waived the 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 June 1, 2016, we notified the

parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds

1 for continuing the appeal. No response has 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.
