Court of Appeals

NO. 09-05-483 CR NO. 09-05-484 CR ____________________

CHRISTOPHER BROOKS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

---

On Appeal from the 252nd District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause Nos. 87885 and 88676

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Christopher Brooks was convicted of the offense of robbery in Cause No. 87885 and was convicted of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle in Cause No. 88676. Brooks filed notices of appeal on October 31, 2005. In each case, 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 certifications have been provided to the Court of Appeals by the district clerk.

On November 4, 2005, we notified the parties that the appeals would be dismissed unless amended certifications were filed within thirty days of the date of the notices and made a part of the appellate records. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1. The records have not been supplemented with amended certifications. Because a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record, the appeals must be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.

APPEALS DISMISSED.
