In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ________________ NO. 09-17-00067-CR ________________ JOSHUA DEJEAN ZENO, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause Nos. 16-24794 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On November 28, 2016, the trial court sentenced Joshua DeJean Zeno on a conviction for sexual assault of a child. Zeno filed a notice of appeal on February 24, 2017. 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 that the defendant has no right to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). On March 8, 2017, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. No response has been filed. Because the record does not contain a certification that shows the defendant has the right to appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. APPEAL DISMISSED. ________________________________ HOLLIS HORTON Justice Submitted on April 4, 2017 Opinion Delivered April 5, 2017 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Horton and Johnson, JJ.
