Appellant John Allan Darlington attempts to
appeal his conviction and sentence for assault with bodily injury of a family
member.  The trial court=s
certification of appellant=s right
of appeal states that appellant Ahas
waived the right of appeal.@  See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). 




On August 26, 2008, we notified appellant that
the certification indicating that he had waived his right to appeal had been
filed in this court and that the appeal would be dismissed unless appellant or
any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a timely response showing
grounds for continuing the appeal.  See
Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d), 44.3. 
Appellant has not filed a response. 
Therefore, we dismiss this appeal.
