Michael Joseph Taplin, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, 368TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 05-1000-K368, HONORABLE BURT CARNES, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Michael Joseph Taplin seeks to appeal his conviction for two counts of aggravated
sexual assault of a child. The pro se notice of appeal was filed two months after sentence
was imposed. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a). The trial court has certified that this is a plea bargain
case and Taplin has no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d). The court has
also certified that Taplin waived the right of appeal. See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218, 220
(Tex. Crim. App. 2000); see also Monreal v. State, 99 S.W.3d 615, 622 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003).
The appeal is dismissed.
