MANUEL FERNANDEZ                                                    APPELLANT

                                        V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS                                                       STATE

                                    ------------

           FROM THE 372ND DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY

                                    ------------

                         MEMORANDUM OPINION 1

                                    ------------

      On May 26, 2009, Appellant Manuel Fernandez was convicted of burglary

of a habitation, a second-degree felony, after pleading guilty to the offense and

pleading true to the enhancement paragraph.        See Tex. Penal Code Ann.

§ 30.02(a), (c)(2) (Vernon 2008). Pursuant to a plea agreement, the trial court

sentenced him to ten years’ confinement, with the sentence to run concurrently




      1
          … See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
“with any sentence currently being served,” 2 and entered its certification of

Fernandez’s right to appeal in accordance with rule 25.2(a)(2). See Tex. R.

App. P. 25.2(a)(2). The certification states that the case “is a plea-bargain

case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.”

      On June 10, 2009, this court notified Fernandez that the certification

indicating that he had no right to appeal had been filed in this court and that

this appeal would be dismissed unless he or any party desiring to continue the

appeal filed a response showing grounds for continuing the appeal on or before

June 22, 2009. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d), 44.3. On June 15, 2009,

we received a pro se response from Fernandez that does not show any grounds

for continuing the appeal.

      Therefore, in accordance with the trial court’s certification, we dismiss

the appeal.   See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2), 43.2(f); Cooper v. State, 45




      2
       … The punishment range for a second-degree felony is imprisonment for
any term of not more than twenty years or less than two years and up to a
$10,000 fine. Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 12.33 (Vernon 2003). The written plea
admonishments indicate that the State offered Fernandez ten years’
confinement, to run concurrently with other cases being served.

S.W.3d 77, 81–82 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001); see also Griffin v. State, 145

S.W .3d 645, 649 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004) (stating that rule 25.2(a)(2)’s

requirements do not impermissibly abridge the right to appeal).
