On Appeal from the Criminal District Court, Jefferson County, Texas, Trial Cause No. 08-04347.
Before McKEITHEN, C.J., KREGER and HORTON, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On April 5, 2010, the trial court sentenced Marcus Demond Younger on a conviction for possession of a controlled substance. Younger filed a notice of appeal on April 15, 2010. The trial court entered a certification of the defendant's right to appeal in which the court certified that this is a plea-bargain 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 May 4, 2010, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. The appellant filed a response but failed to establish that the trial court's certification should be amended. Because the record does not contain a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. APPEAL DISMISSED.
