EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
PINE BLUFF DIVISION
JAMES GIRLEY
ADC #112981
VS.

PETITIONER

CASE NO.: 5:15CV00074 JM/BD

WENDY KELLEY, Director,
Arkansas Department of Correction

RESPONDENT
ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Recommended Disposition (“Recommendation”) filed
by Magistrate Judge Beth Deere. In addition, the Court has considered Mr. Girley’s
objections to the Recommendation and has reviewed de novo those portions of the record
relevant to those objections.
After careful consideration, this Court adopts the Recommendation as its own.
James Girley’s petition for writ of habeas corpus (docket entry #2) is denied and
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. 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 19th day of August, 2015.
