In The Court of Appeals Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________ NO. 09-18-00006-CR ____________________ DWIGHT JOHNSON, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _______________________________________________________ ______________ On Appeal from the Criminal District Court Jefferson County, Texas Trial Cause No. 16-26483 ________________________________________________________ _____________ MEMORANDUM OPINION On December 6, 2017, the trial court sentenced Dwight Johnson on a conviction for failure to register as a sex offender. Johnson filed a notice of appeal on December 17, 2017. The trial court signed a certification in which the court certified that this is a plea-bargain case and the defendant has no right of appeal, and the defendant has waived the 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 January 24, 2018, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless 1 the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. The appellant has not filed a response that establishes that the trial court’s certification should be amended. Because the trial court’s certification shows the defendant does not have the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. APPEAL DISMISSED. ________________________________ LEANNE JOHNSON Justice Submitted on February 27, 2018 Opinion Delivered February 28, 2018 Do Not Publish Before McKeithen, C.J., Kreger and Johnson, JJ. 2
