MARK ALLEN CARTER APPELLANT

THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE
----------
FROM THE 297TH DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY
TRIAL COURT NO. 1501283D

MEMORANDUM OPINION1
----------
Mark Allen Carter attempts to appeal from his conviction for possession of
a controlled substance of less than one gram of methylenedioxy
methamphetamine. See Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.103(a)(1) (West
Supp. 2017), § 481.116(b) (West 2017). Carter pleaded guilty to the offense
pursuant to a plea bargain, and in accordance with that plea, the trial court
1
See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4.
sentenced him to six months in state jail. Consistent with Carter’s plea, the “Trial
Court’s Certification of Defendant’s Right of Appeal” 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), (d).
On December 1, 2017, we notified Carter that his appeal could be
dismissed based upon the trial court’s certification unless he or any party desiring
to continue the appeal filed a response on or before December 11, 2017,
showing grounds for continuing the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 44.3. No
response has been filed.
In accordance with the trial court’s certification, we dismiss the appeal. See
Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d), 43.2(f).
