In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ________________ NO. 09-16-00486-CR ________________ ANGELA LEE SMALLEY, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 16-24954 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On June 6, 2016, the trial court sentenced Angela Lee Smalley on a conviction for possession of a controlled substance. Smalley filed a notice of appeal on December 16, 2016. The district clerk has provided the trial court’s certification to the Court of Appeals. The trial 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). On December 20, 2016, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. No 1 response has been filed. 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. ________________________________ STEVE McKEITHEN Chief Justice Submitted on January 31, 2017 Opinion Delivered February 1, 2017 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ. 2
