IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
CENTRAL DIVISION
JAMES M. RAPER, JR.
v.

PETITIONER
Case No. 4:21-CV-166 BRW-JTK

THOMAS DEEN, PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
DRUG TASK FORCE FOR 10TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

RESPONDENTS

ORDER
The Court has received proposed findings and recommendations from United States
Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney. After careful review of the findings and recommendations
and the timely objections thereto, as well as a de novo review of the record, the Court concludes
that the findings and recommendations should be, and are hereby, approved and adopted as this
Court’s findings in all respects in their entirety. Judgment shall be entered accordingly.
The Court will not issue a certificate of appealability because Petitioner has not made a
substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)-(2). Because
the Court will not issue a certificate of appealability, it certifies that an appeal in forma pauperis
would not be taken in good faith. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(3)(A).
IT IS SO ORDERED this 28th day of April, 2021.

Billy Roy Wilson
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
