Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal on August 28, 2014. 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. The trial court’s certification states that this “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” Accordingly, we informed Appellant and his appointed counsel by letter on September 8, 2014, that this case was subject to dismissal unless he or any party showed grounds for continuing the appeal on or before September 18, 2014. See Tex. R. App. P 25.2(a)(2), (d). We received no response. We therefore dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f). PER CURIAM PANEL: GARDNER, WALKER, and MCCOY, JJ.
