IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
PINE BLUFF DIVISION
BRIAN T. JORDAN
v.

PETITIONER
CASE NO. 5:13CV00375 BSM

RAY HOBBS

RESPONDENT
ORDER

The findings and recommendation submitted by United States Magistrate Judge H.
David Young have been received, along with the objections thereto. After a careful review
of the findings and recommendation, the objections, and a de novo review of the record, it
is concluded that the findings and recommendation should be, and hereby are, approved and
adopted in their entirety in all respects. Accordingly, the petition for writ of habeas corpus
filed by Brian T. Jordan is dismissed.
When entering a final order adverse to a habeas corpus petitioner, a certificate of
appealability must be issued or denied. See 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). As there is no
basis to issue a certificate of appealability, the certificate is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 16th day of May 2014.
