MEMORANDUM OPINION

BOB PEMBERTON, Justice.

Appellant Alexandre Lloyd Cunningham pleaded guilty to the offense of murder. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 19.02 (West 2003). Cunningham seeks to appeal from the judgment of conviction. The district court has certified that this is a plea-bargain case and that the defendant has no right of appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.¹ See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d).

1 Cunningham has also filed, in addition to his notice of appeal, a motion requesting permission to appeal the judgment in spite of his plea because, according to Cunningham, his plea was "involuntary." We overrule Cunningham's motion. See Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77, 78-83 (Tex.Crim.App. 2001).
