                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On April 20, 2015, the trial court sentenced Robert McAndrews on a

conviction for possession of marijuana. McAndrews filed a notice of appeal on

May 21, 2015. The trial court signed a certification in which the court certified that

the defendant waived the right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The trial

court clerk has provided the trial court’s certification to the Court of Appeals. On

August 20, 2015, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless

the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeal. The appellant has not

                                          1
filed a response that establishes that the trial court’s certification should be

amended to state that the defendant has the right of appeal. 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. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
