Arkansas Department of Correction

RESPONDENT
ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Recommended Disposition (“Recommendation”) filed by
Magistrate Judge Beth Deere and the objections to the Recommendation. In addition, the Court
has reviewed de novo those portions of the record relevant to Mr. Poole’s objections. The Court
adopts the Recommendation as its own. Marques Poole’s petition for writ of habeas corpus
(Doc. No. 2) is DISMISSED, without prejudice.
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.1 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 27th day of May, 2015.
