In The
Court of Appeals
Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont

NO. 09-09-00215-CR

ROMISQUE JERWAYN SIMS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
Jefferson County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 08-04886
MEMORANDUM OPINION
The trial court sentenced Romisque Jerwayn Sims on a conviction for possession of a controlled substance. Sims filed a notice of appeal. 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. We notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. No response has been filed. 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.
