ADC #600520
VS.

PETITIONER

CASE NO.: 5:13CV00174 SWW/BD

RAY HOBBS, Director,
Arkansas Department of Correction

RESPONDENT

ORDER
The Court has reviewed the Recommended Disposition (“Recommendation”) filed by
Magistrate Judge Beth Deere. The parties have not filed any objections to the Recommendation.
After careful consideration, this Court adopts the Recommendation as its own. Jermiko
Johnson’s petition for writ of habeas corpus (docket entry #1) is denied and dismissed, with
prejudice.
When entering a final order adverse to a habeas corpus petitioner, the Court must issue or
deny a certificate of appealability. Rule 11 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases. A
certificate of appealability may issue only if a petitioner has made a substantial showing of the
denial of a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)-(2). In this case, there is no basis for this
court to issue a certificate of appealability. Accordingly, a certificate of appealability is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 21st day of November, 2013.
