                          Jefferson County, Texas

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On February 16, 2018, the trial court sentenced Jacobi Gilbert on a conviction

for aggravated sexual assault of a child. Gilbert filed a notice of appeal on March 7,

2018. 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 the defendant as

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 March 8, 2018,

we notified the parties that we would dismiss the appeal unless the appellant

                                           1
 
 
 




established that the certification is incorrect. 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.
