DEXTER PAYNE, Director,
Arkansas Division of Correction
RESPONDENT
ORDER
The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Recommendation submitted by United
States Magistrate Judge Joe J. Volpe (Dkt. No. 29). Petitioner Aaron Michael Lewis has not filed
any objections, and the time to file objections has passed. Given that this case was recently
assigned to the undersigned, the undersigned has reviewed de novo the record, even though no
objections to the Proposed Findings and Recommendation have been filed. Accordingly, after
careful consideration, the Court approves and adopts the Proposed Findings and Recommendation
in its entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects (Id.). The Court dismisses, with prejudice,
Mr. Lewis’s petition for writ of habeas corpus (Dkt. No. 1). The Court declines to issue a
certificate of appealability. Mr. Lewis’s motion for appointment of counsel is denied as moot (Dkt.
No. 30).
It is so ordered this the 27th day of January, 2025.
