                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On August 1, 2017, the trial court sentenced David A. Riggs to thirty years in

prison for aggravated robbery. The trial court certified that Riggs had no right to

appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). Nonetheless, Riggs filed a notice of appeal

on November 27, 2017.

      The Court finds that the notice of appeal was not timely filed. See Tex. R.

App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Riggs also did not file a timely motion for extension of time to

file his appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. We hold that the Court has no jurisdiction

                                         1
over Riggs’ appeal. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App.

1998). We must also dismiss Riggs’ appeal because the trial court’s certification

shows that he does not have the right to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). The

appeal is dismissed. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).

      APPEAL DISMISSED.
