OPINION
                                                              
        Before Chief Justice Valdez
and Justices Hinojosa and Castillo
                                 Memorandum
Opinion Per Curiam
                                                                  
Appellant, JUAN MANUEL LUNA, attempts to appeal a conviction for possession
of marihuana.  The trial court has
certified that this Ais a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO
right of appeal.@  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

On April
19, 2005, this Court notified appellant=s
counsel of the trial court=s certification and ordered counsel to: (1) review
the record; (2) determine whether appellant has a right to appeal; and (3)
forward to this Court, by letter, counsel=s
findings as to whether appellant has a right to appeal, or, alternatively,
advise this Court as to the existence of any amended certification.
On June
24, 2005, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court.  Counsel=s response does not establish (1) that the
certification currently on file with this Court is incorrect or (2) that
appellant otherwise has a right to appeal. 

The Texas Rules
of Appellate Procedure provide that an appeal must be dismissed if the trial
court=s certification does not show that the defendant has
the right of appeal.  Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d); see Tex. R. App. P. 37.1, 44.3, 44.4.
Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed. 
Any pending motions are denied as moot.

filed this the 21st day of July, 2005.
