In The

Court of Appeals

Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________

NO. 09-16-00082-CR

NO. 09-16-00083-CR ____________________

LLOYD EUGENE GOURLEY, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _______________________________________________________ ______________ On Appeal from the 359th District Court Montgomery County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 14-09-09695-CR (Counts I and II) ________________________________________________________ _____________ MEMORANDUM OPINION

On February 24, 2016, the trial court sentenced Lloyd Eugene Gourley on convictions for evading arrest or detention with a motor vehicle and possession of a controlled substance. Gourley filed a notice of appeal on March 9, 2016. The trial court signed certifications in which the court certified that these are plea-bargain cases 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 certifications to the Court of Appeals.

On March 14, 2016, we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeals unless the appellant established grounds for continuing the appeals. No response has been filed. Because the trial court’s certifications show the defendant does not have the right of appeal, we must dismiss the appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals.

APPEALS DISMISSED.
