ADC# 145736
v.

PETITIONER

CASE NO. 5:13CV00379 BSM

RAY HOBBS, Director,
Arkansas Department of Correction

RESPONDENT
ORDER

The recommended disposition filed by United States Magistrate Judge Beth Deere has
been reviewed, along with the objections filed.

After de novo review and careful

consideration, it is concluded that the recommendation should be, and hereby is, adopted in
its entirety in all respects.
Accordingly, Robert James’s petition for writ of habeas corpus [Doc. No. 1] is denied
and dismissed with prejudice. It is further ordered, pursuant to Rule 11 of the rules
governing section 2254 cases, that a certificate of appealability is denied because James has
not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See 28 U.S.C. §
2253(c)(1)-(2).
An appropriate judgment shall accompany this order.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 26th day of June 2014.
