                                MEMORANDUM OPINION^[1]

                                              ------------

Appellant R.A.D. attempts to appeal from the trial court=s order certifying him to stand trial as an adult and transferring him to a criminal district court.  On June 3, 2008, we notified Appellant of our concern that we lack jurisdiction over this appeal because article 44.47(b) of the code of criminal procedure provides that such an order may be appealed Aonly in conjunction with the appeal of a conviction . . . or . . . order of deferred adjudication for the offense for which the defendant was transferred to criminal court.@^[2]  Appellant=s response indicates that he would consent to the dismissal of this case for want of jurisdiction.

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.^[3]
