Aaron Cummings, Appellant v. The State of Texas, State (2015)

MEMORANDUM OPINION 1

Appellant Aaron Cummings attempts to appeal from his conviction for aggravated sexual assault of a child under fourteen years of age.   Cummings pleaded guilty pursuant to a plea bargain, and in accordance with the plea bargain, the trial court convicted Cummings of the offense and sentenced him to twenty years' confinement.   The trial court's certification of his right to appeal states that this case “is a plea-bargain case, and the defendant has NO right of appeal.”   See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).

On April 22, 2015, we notified Cummings that this appeal may be dismissed based on the trial court's certification unless he or any party desiring to continue the appeal filed a response on or before May 4, 2015, showing grounds for continuing the appeal.   See Tex.R.App. P. 25.2(a)(2), (d), 44.3.   Cummings's responses do not show grounds for continuing the appeal.

In accordance with the trial court's certification, we therefore dismiss this appeal.   See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f).
