v.

PETITIONER

CASE NO: 5:14CV00211 BSM

RAY HOBBS, Director of the
ARKANSAS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION

RESPONDENT

ORDER
The proposed findings and recommended disposition submitted by United States
Magistrate Judge H. David Young and petitioner Demarcus Rontrez Robinson’s objections
thereto have been reviewed. After careful consideration of the objections and a de novo
review of the record, it is concluded that the proposed findings and recommended disposition
should be, and hereby are, approved and adopted in their entirety in all respects.
The petition for writ of habeas corpus [Doc. No.2] pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 filed
by Demarcus Rontrez Robinson is denied. In § 2254 cases, a certificate of appealability may
issue only if the 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 such showing by Robinson, a certificate of
appealability is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 31st day of October 2014.
