Dismiss and Opinion Filed July 29, 2022 S In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-22-00258-CR No. 05-22-00269-CR CORBIN CLANCY OCHEI, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 204th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. F19-39152-Q & F21-41437-Q MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Myers, Carlyle, and Goldstein Opinion by Justice Myers Corbin Clancy Ochei appeals his convictions for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and deadly conduct. Because we had questions about our jurisdiction over these appeals, we requested letter briefs from appellant and the State. After reviewing the clerk’s and reporter’s records as well as the jurisdictional briefing, we dismiss these appeals. Appellant, who was represented by counsel, entered into a negotiated plea bargain with the State. Under the terms, appellant pleaded guilty to each offense and waived his right to appeal in exchange for the State’s recommendation of a cap of twenty years in the aggravated robbery case. See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218, 219–20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). The trial court admonished appellant, including that he was waiving his right to appeal under the plea bargain agreements. The trial court then accepted appellant’s guilty pleas and assessed punishment at eighteen years in prison for the aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon case and ten years in prison for the deadly conduct case. The trial court prepared and signed rule 25.2(d) certifications of the right to appeal stating these are plea-bargain cases, and appellant has no right of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). The certifications are supported by the clerk’s and reporter’s records. And in his jurisdictional letter brief, appellant concedes he waived his right to appeal. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614– 15 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). Because appellant waived his right to appeal in conjunction with the plea agreements, we conclude we lack jurisdiction See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(a), (d); Lundgren v. State, 434 S.W.3d 594, 599 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014). We dismiss these appeals. 220258f.u05 220269f.u05 Do Not Publish TEX. R. APP.
