ORDER OF DISMISSAL

_______________________________

Before QUINN, C.J., CAMPBELL, J., and BOYD, S.J. (footnote: 1)

Appellant, Devon Royal Jones, appeals his conviction for capital murder.  The certification of right to appeal executed by the trial court states that this “is a plea bargain case and the defendant has NO right of appeal” and “the defendant has waived the right of appeal.”  This circumstance was brought to the attention of appellant’s counsel and opportunity was granted him to obtain an amended certification entitling appellant to appeal.  No such certification was received within the time we allotted.  Having received no amended certification, we dismiss the appeal per Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(d).

Per Curiam
