In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-18-00162-CR ____________________ DAMIEN LATERELL HOLLINS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _______________________________________________________ ______________ On Appeal from the 435th District Court Montgomery County, Texas Trial Cause No. 12-08-08288-CR ________________________________________________________ _____________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On July 18, 2013, the trial court sentenced Damien Laterell Hollins on a conviction for aggravated robbery. Hollins filed a notice of appeal on April 19, 2018. The trial court signed a certification in which the court certified that this is a pleabargain case and the defendant has no 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 April 25, 2018, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established that the certification is incorrect. In a separate notice 1 we notified the parties that the notice of appeal was filed outside the time for which an extension of time may be granted for filing a notice of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1), 26.3. The appellant did not file a response to this Court’s notices. “The appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record under these rules.” Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Furthermore, a notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days of the date of sentencing and no extension may be granted unless a notice of appeal and a motion for extension of time is filed within fifteen days of the deadline for filing the notice of appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1), 26.3. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. APPEAL DISMISSED. ________________________________ HOLLIS HORTON Justice Submitted on May 22, 2018 Opinion Delivered May 23, 2018 Do Not Publish Before Kreger, Horton and Johnson, JJ. 2
