Lessell Levi Hinton v. State ( 2005 )

In The

Court of Appeals

Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont

____________________

NO. 09-05-411 CR ____________________

LESSELL LEVI HINTON, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

---

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 81827

---

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Lessell Levi Hinton was convicted and sentenced on an indictment for aggravated robbery. Hinton filed a notice of appeal on September 12, 2005. 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 has been provided to the Court of Appeals by the district clerk.

On September 14, 2005, we notified the parties that the appeal would be dismissed unless an amended certification was filed within thirty days of the date of the notice and made a part of the appellate record. See Tex. R. App. P. 37.1. The parties have not identified any issues unrelated to the appellant's conviction and the record has not been supplemented with an amended certification. Because a certification that shows the defendant has the right of appeal has not been made part of the record, the appeal must be dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
