              On Appeal from the Criminal District Court

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

         The trial court sentenced Joseph Matthew Brooks Dudley on a conviction for

attempted capital murder of a peace officer. Dudley filed a notice of appeal. 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. See Tex. R. App. P.

25.2(a)(2). The district clerk has provided the trial court’s certification to this

Court.

                                          1
      We notified the parties that the Court 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, the appeal is dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
