NUMBER 13-09-00044-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
SEAN MCNERTHNEY, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On Appeal from the 214th District Court
of Nueces County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Garza and Vela
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Sean Mcnerthney, attempts to appeal his conviction for evading arrest.
The trial court has 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). Appellant filed a request for permission
to appeal with the trial court which was denied. See id.
On February 3, 2009, this Court notified appellant’s counsel of the trial court’s
certification and ordered counsel to: (1) review the record; (2) determine whether appellant
has a right to appeal; and (3) forward to this Court, by letter, counsel’s findings as to
whether appellant has a right to appeal, or, alternatively, advise this Court as to the
existence of any amended certification.
On March 6, 2009, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court. Counsel’s response
does not establish that the certification currently on file with this Court is incorrect or that
appellant otherwise has a right to appeal.
The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that an appeal must be dismissed
if the trial court’s certification does not show that the defendant has the right of appeal.
TEX . R. APP. P. 25.2(d); see TEX . R. APP. P. 37.1, 44.3, 44.4. Accordingly, this appeal is
DISMISSED. Any pending motions are denied as moot.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish. See TEX . R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
Memorandum Opinion delivered and
filed this the 26th day of March, 2009.
