RAY HOBBS, Director, Arkansas
Department of Correction

RESPONDENT
ORDER

The Court has received the Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition from
United States Magistrate Judge J. Thomas Ray (Dkt. No. 12) and the objections filed by
Petitioner George E. Tolefree (Dkt. No. 13). After carefully reviewing the Proposed Findings
and Recommendations and Mr. Tolefree’s objections, as well as a de novo review of the record,
the Court approves and adopts in their entirety the Proposed Findings and Recommended
Disposition as this Court’s findings in all respects. Therefore, the Court dismisses with prejudice
Mr. Tolefree’s petition for writ of habeas corpus. The Court denies a certificate of appealability
because Mr. Tolefree has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.
28 U.S.C. § 2253(c).
SO ORDERED this 12th day of May, 2015.
