DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Robert Goode ("Goode") filed a general notice of appeal to complain of his felony conviction based on a plea of guilty. The punishment assessed did not exceed the punishment recommended by the prosecutor and agreed to by Goode. To invoke the court's jurisdiction over this appeal, rule 25.2(b)(3) requires that the notice of appeal specify that the appeal is from a jurisdictional defect, specify that the substance of the appeal was raised by written motion and ruled on before trial, or state that the trial court granted permission to appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3). Goode's general notice of appeal did not meet any of the requirements of rule 25.2(b)(3). See White v. State, No. 123-01, 2001 WL 1539153 (Tex. Crim. App. Dec. 5, 2001); Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001). The only issues raised in Goode's brief are the voluntariness of his plea and ineffective assistance of counsel. Because the appeal does not raise any issues that this court has jurisdiction to consider, the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
