MEMORANDUM OPINION
(footnote: 1)

------------

On November 26, 2007, appellant Victor Borjas Soto a/k/a Victor Barjas Soto pled guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon pursuant to a plea bargain.  In accordance with the plea bargain, the trial court sentenced him to ten years’ confinement.  Although appellant timely filed a notice of appeal in this court, the trial court’s certification of his right to appeal shows that this case “is a plea-bargain case, and [appellant] has NO right of appeal.”

On December 14, 2007, we sent a letter to appellant’s court-appointed counsel informing him of the trial court’s certification and giving appellant, or any party desiring to continue the appeal, until December 27, 2007 to file a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal.  
See
 
Tex. R. App. P.
 25.2(a)(2).  We stated that the appeal would be dismissed unless we received such a response.  
See 
Tex. R. App. P.
 44.3. 
 On January 7, 2007, we received a letter from appellant’s counsel, in which he agreed that appellant has no right of appeal and dismissal is appropriate.

Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal.
