MEMORANDUM
OPINION[1]
----------
          Appellant
Richard Furlow filed a pro se notice of appeal from his conviction for
theft between $20,000 and $100,000.  The trial court’s certification states
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).  On October 27, 2011, we notified Furlow that this appeal may be
dismissed unless he or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a
response on or before November 7, 2011, showing grounds for continuing the
appeal.  In response to our letter, Furlow filed a motion for extension of time
to file an amended notice of appeal and also filed an amended notice of appeal
in which he sets out the “grounds” of his appeal—involuntary plea and
ineffective assistance of counsel.  Furlow’s response does not explain why this
appeal should continue in light of the trial court’s certification; instead, it
merely identifies issues that he would potentially raise if the appeal
continued.  Accordingly, we deny Furlow’s motion for extension of time, and in
accordance with the trial court’s certification, we dismiss this appeal.  See
Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f).
