MEMORANDUM OPINION

 
Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Vela

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

 Appellant, Richard Lee Quinonez, attempts to appeal a conviction for robbery.  The
trial court has certified that "the defendant has waived the right of appeal."  See Tex. R.
App. P. 25.2(a)(2).
	On October 18, 2007, this Court notified appellant's counsel of the trial court's
certification and ordered counsel to: (1) review the record; (2) determine whether appellant
has a right to appeal; and (3) forward to this Court, by letter, counsel's findings as to
whether appellant has a right to appeal, or, alternatively, advise this Court as to the
existence of any amended certification.
	On January 16, 2008, counsel filed a letter brief with this Court.  Counsel's response
does not establish:  (1) that the certification currently on file with this Court is incorrect, or
(2) that appellant otherwise has a right to appeal.  
	The Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure provide that an appeal must be dismissed
if the trial court's certification does not show that the defendant has the right of appeal. 
Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d); see Tex. R. App. P. 37.1, 44.3, 44.4. Accordingly, this appeal is
DISMISSED.  Any pending motions are denied as moot.

									PER CURIAM
Do not publish.  See Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).

Memorandum Opinion delivered and filed 
this the 6th day of March, 2008.
