In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont _________________ NO. 09-10-00442-CR NO. 09-10-00443-CR NO. 09-10-00444-CR NO. 09-10-00445-CR _________________ RICHARD WILLIAM RIOJAS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee ________________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 163rd District Court Orange County, Texas Trial Cause Nos. B100020-R, B100023-R, B100029-R and B100032-R ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On August 31, 2010, the trial court sentenced Richard William Riojas on convictions for possession of marihuana, possession of a controlled substance, three counts of sexual assault, and sexual assault. Riojas filed notices of appeal on September 30, 2010. The trial court entered certifications of the defendant s right to appeal in which the court certified that these are plea-bargained cases 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 1 certifications to the Court of Appeals. On October 6, 2010, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeals unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeals. The appellant filed a response but failed to establish that the trial court s certifications should be amended. Because in each case the record does not contain a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals. APPEALS DISMISSED. ________________________________ DAVID GAULTNEY Justice Opinion Delivered November 24, 2010 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Gaultney and Kreger, JJ. 2
