IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
PINE BLUFF DIVISION
RECO BLAKELY
ADC #124036
v.

PETITIONER

Case No. 5:14-cv-00088-KGB/JTK

WENDY KELLEY, Director,
Arkansas Department of Correction

RESPONDENT
ORDER

The Court has received Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition from United
States Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney (Dkt. No. 16). Petitioner filed objections to the
Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition (Dkt. No. 20) and a motion to amend his
objections (Dkt. No. 21). The Court grants petitioner’s motion to amend his objections and has
considered the amended objections attached to the motion. After careful review of the Proposed
Findings and Recommended Disposition and the objections and amended objections thereto, as
well as a de novo review of the record, the Court concludes that the Proposed Findings and
Recommended Disposition should be, and is hereby, approved and adopted as this Court’s
findings in all respects in their entirety. Judgment shall be entered accordingly. The Court will
not issue a certificate of appealability because petitioner has not made a substantial showing of a
denial of a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)-(2).
SO ORDERED this 7th day of July, 2015.
