                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On January 14, 2014, the trial court sentenced Lewis W. Rogers on a

conviction for possession of a controlled substance. Rogers filed a notice of appeal

on February 14, 2014. The district clerk has provided the trial court’s certification

to the Court of Appeals. The trial 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).

      On February 21, 2014, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the

appeal unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. No
                                          1
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.

                                            ______________________________
