On Appeal from the 258th District Court

Polk County, Texas Trial Cause No. 21,877 ________________________________________________________ _____________

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On May 13, 2016, the trial court sentenced Travis Oliver on a conviction for sexual assault of a child. Oliver filed a notice of appeal on August 29, 2016. 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. 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 6, 2016, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant established grounds 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.
