WESTERN DIVISION
KENDRICK STORY
ADC #109934

Case No. 4:17-cv-00541 KGB

STATE OF ARKANSAS

RESPONDENT
ORDER

The Court has received Proposed Findings and Recommendations (“Recommendations”)
submitted by United States Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney (Dkt. No. 3). Petitioner Kendrick
Story filed a motion for extension of time to file objections to Judge Kearney’s Recommendations
(Dkt. No. 4). However, Mr. Story then filed timely objections to the Recommendations (Dkt. No.
5). Therefore, the Court denies as moot Mr. Story’s motion for extension of time (Dkt. No. 4) and
considers timely his objections (Dkt. No. 5). After a review of the Recommendations and Mr.
Story’s objections, as well as a de novo review of the record, the Court adopts the
Recommendations in their entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects (Dkt. No. 3). It is
therefore ordered that:
1. Mr. Story’s petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 is dismissed
without prejudice (Dkt. No. 1);
2. Mr. Story’s motion to stay is denied (Dkt. No. 2); and
3. Mr. Story’s motion to extend time is denied as moot (Dkt. No. 4).
It is so ordered this 12th day of February, 2018.
