CLIFFORD JABULANI ZIMU, Appellant

 

V.

 

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

 

 

On Appeal from the 351st District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 1128176

 

 

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

Appellant entered a guilty plea to possession of less than one gram of cocaine.  In accordance with the terms of a plea bargain agreement with the State, the trial court sentenced appellant on October 12, 2007, to confinement for one year in the Harris County Jail.  Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal.  We dismiss the 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 trial court=s certification is included in the record on appeal.  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).  The record supports the trial court=s certification.  See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 615 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).

In addition, on January 11, 2008, appellant filed a written request to withdraw the notice of appeal, which he personally signed.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2.  Because this Court has not delivered an opinion, we grant appellant=s request.

Accordingly, we order the appeal dismissed.  We direct the Clerk of the Court to issue the mandate of the Court immediately.
