IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
PINE BLUFF DIVISION
KITAKA LAUDERDALE
v.

PETITIONER
Case No. 5:13-cv-00040-KGB

RAY HOBBS, Director,
Arkansas Department of Correction

RESPONDENT
ORDER

The Court has received the Proposed Findings and Recommendations from United States
Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney (Dkt. No. 32). Petitioner Kitaka Lauderdale has filed
objections to the Proposed Findings and Recommendations (Dkt. No. 33), as well as a letter that
the Court construes as supplemental objections (Dkt. No. 35). After careful review of the
Proposed Findings and Recommendations and the timely objections thereto, as well as a de novo
review of the record, the Court concludes that the Proposed Findings and Recommendations
should be, and are hereby, approved and adopted in their entirety as this Court’s findings in all
respects. Petitioner’s petition is hereby dismissed with prejudice and the request for relief is
denied.
All remaining pending motions are denied as moot. The Court will not issue a certificate
of appealability because Petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a
constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c).
Accordingly, judgment shall be entered dismissing with prejudice this case.
SO ORDERED this the 19th day of February, 2015.
