Ashley McFarland v. State ( 2020 )

In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont __________________ NO. 09-19-00444-CR __________________ ASHLEY MCFARLAND, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee __________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 19-32381 __________________________________________________________________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On November 4, 2019, the trial court sentenced Ashley McFarland on a conviction for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. McFarland filed a notice of appeal on November 15, 2019. 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. On 1 December 4, 2019, 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. PER CURIAM Submitted on January 14, 2020 Opinion Delivered January 15, 2020 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Horton, JJ. 2
