THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, Carlos Pedro Alvarez, attempts to appeal his conviction for money laundering. The trial court has certified that this "is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal," and "the defendant has waived the right of appeal." See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

On January 21, 2010, 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 March 29, 2010, counsel filed a brief with this Court regarding appellant's right to appeal. On May 11, 2010, the State filed a responsive brief. The Court, having examined and fully considered appellant's brief and the State's brief, concludes that appellant's brief does not establish that the certification currently on file with this Court is incorrect or that appellant otherwise has a right to appeal. See, e.g., State v. Moore, 240 S.W.3d 248, 253-54 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007).

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.
