MEMORANDUM OPINION
On April 1, 2016, the trial court sentenced Leonard on a conviction for
evading arrest or detention. Leonard filed an amended notice of appeal on May 31,
2016. 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.
1
On June 6, 2016, 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.
