MELVIN LEE HAYES APPELLANT v. THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE
MEMORANDUM OPINION 1
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 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).
