                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

       On August 27, 2018, the trial court sentenced Gary Paige on a conviction for

possession of marijuana. Paige filed a notice of appeal on September 13, 2018. 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, and the defendant has waived the right

of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The district clerk has provided the trial

court’s certification to the Court of Appeals. On September 21, 2018, we notified

the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds
                                            1
for continuing the appeal. No response has been filed. 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.

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
