Appeal from the 143rd District Court of Ward County, Texas, (Tc# 05-09-4737-Crw).

Before BARAJAS, C.J., McCLURE, and CHEW, JJ.


OPINION


Appellant entered a guilty plea to the offense of sexual assault of a child. In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain, the court sentenced Appellant to ten years' deferred adjudication and a fine of $1,500. Appellant filed a notice of appeal on September 30, 2005. Because Appellant has no right to appeal, we dismiss. The trial court entered a certification of the Appellant's right to appeal in which the court certified that this is a plea-bargain case, and that Appellant had no right to appeal. Further, the trial court stated that Appellant waived his right to appeal. See Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(a)(2). On September 30, 2005, this Court requested a letter brief from Appellant to be filed not later than October 10, 2005 indicating why he has the right to appeal. In response, Appellant filed a motion to extend the time to file the response brief. That motion is denied. The trial court's certification is included in the record on appeal. See Tex.R.App.P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we deny Appellant's motion to extend the time to file the response brief and we dismiss the appeal.
