IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF RKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION
TORIANDO MASON
v.

PETITIONER
Case No. 4:17-cv-299 KGB/BD

STATE CIRCUIT COURT OF
ARKANSAS

RESPONDENT
ORDER

Before the Court is the Recommended Disposition submitted by United States Magistrate
Judge Beth Deere (Dkt. No. 3). Petitioner Toriando Mason has not filed any objection to the
Recommended Disposition, and the time to file an objection has passed.

After careful

consideration, the Court concludes that the Recommended Disposition should be, and hereby is,
adopted as this Court’s findings in all respects.
Consequently, the Court dismisses without prejudice Mr. Mason’s pro se petition for a writ
of habeas corpus for failure to pay the filing fee or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis
and for failure to comply with this Court’s previous Order (Dkt. Nos. 1, 2). See Local Rule
5.5(c)(2). This Court declines to issue a certificate of appealability, as it finds that Mr. Mason has
not made a substantial showing that he was denied a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(2).
It is so ordered this the 22nd day of August, 2017.
