MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Morris, Whittington, and O'Neill
        Derrick Lynn Johnson pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine in an amount of one gram or more but less than four grams and true to one enhancement paragraph. Pursuant to a plea agreement, the trial court assessed punishment at seven years' imprisonment and a $1000 fine. Appellant waived his right to appeal in conjunction with the plea agreement. See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). The trial court's rule 25.2(d) certification, which states both that the appeal involves a plea bargain and appellant has no right to appeal and that appellant waived his right to appeal, is supported by the documents before the Court. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614-15 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
