IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
PINE BLUFF DIVISION
CHARLES EDWARD JONES, SR.,
ADC #144544
v.

PETITIONER

NO. 5:12CV00019 JLH-BD

RAY HOBBS, Director,
Arkansas Department of Correction

RESPONDENT
ORDER

United States Magistrate Judge Beth Deere entered a recommended disposition on March 29,
2012, recommending that the petition for writ of habeas corpus filed by Charles Edward Jones be
dismissed with prejudice.

On April 20, 2012, the Court entered an order adopting that

recommendation and dismissing the petition with prejudice. On April 24, 2012, the Court received
from Jones a motion for extension of time within which to file objections. Because of the prison
mailbox rule, it is apparent that the motion would have been filed, i.e., put in the prison mailbox,
before the Court adopted the recommended disposition. The Court therefore sets aside the order
adopting the report and recommendation and the judgment entered pursuant to that order. The
motion for extension is GRANTED. Document #22. Any objection that Charles Edward Jones has
to the recommended disposition must be filed on or before May 9, 2012.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 25th day of April, 2012.
