Karim Isam Anabtawi v. State

In The

Court of Appeals

Ninth District of Texas at Beaumont ____________________

NO. 09-16-00191-CR ____________________

KARIM ISAM ANABTAWI, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _______________________________________________________ ______________ On Appeal from the 260th District Court Orange County, Texas

Trial Cause No. D150390-R ________________________________________________________ _____________ MEMORANDUM OPINION

On May 2, 2016, the trial court sentenced Karim Isam Anabtawi on a conviction for driving while intoxicated. Anabtawi filed a notice of appeal. 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 and has waived the 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 June 1, 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.
