V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 195th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F09-23785-N
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Moseley, Richter, and Francis
James Aaron Whittle pleaded guilty to continuous sexual abuse of a child younger than fourteen years of age. See
Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 21.02 (b) (Vernon Supp. 2009). In accordance with a plea agreement, the trial judge sentenced
appellant to imprisonment for twenty-five years. Appellant waived his right to appeal in conjunction with the plea
agreement. See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). The trial court's rule 25.2(d) certification,
which states the case involves a plea bargain and appellant has no right to appeal, is supported by the record. See
Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614-15 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).
The Court has before it the State's November 9, 2009 motion to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction, to
which appellant did not respond. After reviewing the record, we grant the motion. We dismiss the appeal for want
of jurisdiction.
