Opinion

In The

Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-15-00012-CR ____________________

SHAUN MICHAEL ZILLS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _______________________________________________________ ______________

On Appeal from the 410th District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 12-06-06950-CR ________________________________________________________ _____________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On November 21, 2014, the trial court sentenced Shaun Michael Zills on a

conviction for fraudulent use of identifying information. Zills filed a notice of

appeal on January 2, 2015. 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 January 9, 2015, we notified the parties

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

1 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.
