In The
Court of Appeals
Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont

NO. 09-08-025 CR

GLEN JOSEPH, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 252nd District Court
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 07-01322
MEMORANDUM OPINION

On January 7, 2008, the trial court sentenced Glen Joseph on a conviction for aggravated robbery. Joseph filed a notice of appeal on January 9, 2008. The trial court entered a certification of the defendant's right to appeal 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 15, 2008, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the trial court filed an amended certification within thirty days of the date of the notice and made it a part of the appellate record. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1. The trial court has not supplemented the record with an amended certification.

Because the record does not contain a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
