RAY HOBBS, Director,
Arkansas Department of Correction

RESPONDENT
JUDGMENT

In accordance with the Court's Order entered this date, judgment is hereby entered
denying this 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition for writ of habeas corpus, thereby dismissing this
action in its entirety with prejudice. Furthermore, a certificate of appealability is denied, as
Petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.
28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)-(2); Rule 11, Rules Governing § 2254 Cases in United States
District Courts; see Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000) (to satisfy § 2253(c) when
habeas petition is denied on procedural grounds, petitioner must show “that jurists of
reason would find it debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial of a
constitutional right and that jurists of reason would find it debatable whether the district
court was correct in its procedural ruling”).
IT IS SO ORDERED this 25th day of May, 2011.
