In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-23-00282-CR __________________ STEVEN WADE RILEY, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the 356th District Court Hardin County, Texas Trial Cause No. 27815 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On June 15, 2023, the trial court accepted Steven Wade Riley’s guilty plea on an indictment for stalking, deferred adjudication of guilt, and placed Riley on deferred adjudication community supervision for four years. The trial court signed a certification in which the trial court certified that Riley waived his right to appeal and this is a plea-bargain case and Riley has no right of appeal. On July 14, 2023, Riley filed a notice of appeal for Trial Cause Number 27815. The District Clerk provided the certification to the Court of Appeals. 1 On September 6, 2023, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established the certification was incorrect. None of the parties responded to the Court’s notice. Since the record lacks a certification saying that Riley has the right of appeal, we dismiss the appeal. APPEAL DISMISSED. PER CURIAM Submitted on October 31, 2023 Opinion Delivered November 1, 2023 Do Not Publish Before Horton, Johnson and Wright, JJ. 2
