In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont _________________ NO. 09-11-00405-CR _________________ RONALD J. KENNEY, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee ________________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 09-05272 ________________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On June 13, 2011, the trial court sentenced Ronald J. Kenney on a conviction for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Kenney filed a notice of appeal on July 14, 2011. The trial court entered a certification of the defendant s right to appeal in which the court certified that the defendant 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 July 22, 2011, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. The appellant filed a 1 response but failed to establish that the trial court s certification should be amended. 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. APPEAL DISMISSED. ___________________________ CHARLES KREGER Justice Opinion Delivered August 24, 2011 Do not publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ. 2
