ADC #138392

Case No. 5:12-cv-00106-KGB

RAY HOBBS, Director,
Arkansas Department of Correction

RESPONDENT
ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Recommendations of Magistrate
Judge Jerome T. Kearney (Dkt. No. 33) and the objections filed by petitioner DeAndra
Stephenson (Dkt. No. 34).

After a careful review of the Proposed Findings and

Recommendations and the objections, as well as a de novo review of the record, the Court
concludes that the Proposed Findings and Recommendations should be, and hereby are,
approved and adopted in their entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects. The relief
requested is denied.
Accordingly, judgment shall be entered dismissing with prejudice this petition. The
Court will not issue a certificate of appealability because Mr. Stephenson has not made a
substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)-(2).
SO ORDERED this the 18th day of February, 2015.
