No. 08-03-00418-CR

Appeal from the

210th District Court

of El Paso County, Texas

(TC#20030D01912)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Damian Cerros pleaded guilty to possession of five pounds or less but more than four ounces of marijuana. In accordance with a plea agreement, the trial court deferred adjudicating guilt and placed Cerros on community supervision for three years. Cerros filed a notice of appeal. On September 8, 2003, we notified Cerros=s counsel that the notice of appeal is defective because it does not contain the trial court=s certification of Cerros=s right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d). We informed counsel that he must remedy this defect by filing an amended notice of appeal in this Court within thirty days. We also informed counsel that if the amended notice of appeal was not filed,

the appeal would be dismissed. More than thirty days have passed, and we have not received the amended notice of appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.[1]
