IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
PINE BLUFF DIVISION
EDWIN JON CRIDGE
ADC #147651
v.

PETITIONER

CASE NO. 5:14CV00247 BSM

RAY HOBBS, Director,
Arkansas Department of Correction

RESPONDENT
ORDER

The recommended disposition filed by Magistrate Judge H. David Young has been
reviewed. Neither party has filed objections. After careful consideration of the record,
the recommended disposition should be, and hereby is, approved and adopted in its
entirety in all respects. Edwin Cridge’s petition for writ of habeas corpus [Doc. No. 1] is
denied and dismissed with prejudice.
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.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 7th day of October 2014.
