                                    ----------

      Appellant Melvin Lee Hayes attempts to appeal his convictions for theft

and escape. Each of the trial court’s certifications states that this “is a plea-

bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.” See Tex. R. App. P.

25.2(a)(2); see also Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 44.02 (West 2006). On

December 2, 2016, we notified Hayes that these appeals may be dismissed

      1
       See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
pursuant to the trial court’s certifications unless he or any party desiring to

continue the appeals filed a response showing grounds for continuing the

appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 44.3. We have not received a response.

Accordingly, in accordance with the trial court’s certifications, we dismiss these

appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
