NATHAN NIEUWENHUYSE APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE
FROM COUNTY CRIMINAL COURT NO. 1 OF DENTON COUNTY
TRIAL COURT NOS. CR-2016-09009-A, CR-2016-09008-A MEMORANDUM OPINION
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
Nathan Nieuwenhuyse attempts to appeal from his misdemeanor convictions for family-violence assault causing bodily injury and interference with emergency request for assistance. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.01(a)(1), (b) (West Supp. 2016), § 42.062 (West 2016). Nieuwenhuyse pleaded nolo contendere to each offense pursuant to a plea bargain, and in accordance with those pleas, he was sentenced to seven days in jail for each offense. And consistent with those pleas, the "Trial Court's Certification of Defendant's Right of Appeal" in each case states 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 September 1, 2017, we notified Nieuwenhuyse that his appeals could be dismissed based on the trial court's certifications unless he or any party desiring to continue the appeals filed a response on or before September 11, 2017, showing grounds for continuing the appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 44.3. No response has been filed.
In accordance with the trial court's certifications, we dismiss these appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f).
