IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
PINE BLUFF DIVISION
MELVIN EARL SIMS
v.

PLAINTIFF
CASE NO. 5:14-CV-00227 BSM

DAMETRIA ROCHELLE, et al.

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
A recommended disposition from Magistrate Judge Beth Deere has been received,
and no objections have been filed. The recommendation should be, and hereby is,
approved and adopted in all respects.
When entering a final order adverse to a habeas corpus petitioner, a certificate of
appealability must be issued or denied. 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). In this case,
there is no basis for this court to issue a certificate of appealability. Accordingly, a
certificate of appealability is denied.
Mr. Sims’s claims are dismissed without prejudice under Local Rule 5.5.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 30th day of September 2014.
