IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
PINE BLUFF DIVISION
KENNY BUSH
ADC #088682
v.

PETITIONER
Case No. 5:14-CV-395 KGB-BD

RAY HOBBS,
Director, Arkansas
Department of Correction

RESPONDENT
ORDER

The Court has received the Recommended Disposition from United States Magistrate
Judge Beth Deere (Dkt. No. 8) and the objections filed by Petitioner Kenny Bush (Dkt. No. 11).
After carefully reviewing the Recommended Disposition and Mr. Bush’s objections, as well as a
de novo review of the record, the Court approves and adopts in its entirety the Recommended
Disposition as this Court’s findings in all respects. Therefore, the Court dismisses with prejudice
Mr. Bush’s petition for writ of habeas corpus.
When entering a final order adverse to a habeas corpus petitioner, the Court must issue or
deny a certificate of appealability. 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.
SO ORDERED this 18th day of May, 2015.
