11th Court of Appeals

Eastland, Texas

Opinion

Charone Latrell Hardy

            Appellant

Vs.                  No. 11-05-00019-CR -- Appeal from Harris County

State of Texas

            Appellee

            Charone Latrell Hardy entered a plea of guilty to the offense of aggravated sexual assault. A plea bargain agreement was not reached. Appellant waived the presence of a court reporter and stipulated that he used and exhibited a knife during the commission of the offense. The trial court convicted appellant and assessed his punishment at confinement for life. We dismiss.

            The record reflects that appellant waived his right to appeal. The trial court further stated in its judgment and in its certification of right to appeal that appellant had no right to appeal. This court has written appellant on two occasions pointing out that it appeared there was no right to appeal and requesting that appellant respond by showing grounds for continuing this appeal. Appellant has not responded to our requests.

            The appeal is dismissed.
