                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On September 9, 2014, the trial court sentenced Calvin Pete on convictions

for possession of a controlled substance. Pete filed a notice of appeal in each case

on September 25, 2014. The district clerk has provided the trial court’s

certifications to the Court of Appeals. The trial court certified that these are plea-

bargain cases and the defendant has no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P.

25.2(a)(2).

                                          1
      On September 30, 2014, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the

appeals unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeals. The

appellant filed a response but failed to establish that the trial court’s certifications

should be amended. Because the records do not contain certifications that show the

defendant has the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeals. See Tex. R. App. P.

25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals.

      APPEALS DISMISSED.
