VERSUS

JUDGE S. MAURICE HICKS, JR.

EDDIE KENNEDY, ET AL.

MAGISTRATE JUDGE HORNSBY
JUDGMENT

For the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge
previously filed herein, and after an independent review of the record, and noting the lack
of written objections filed by Plaintiff and determining that the findings are correct under the
applicable law;
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s civil rights claims regarding the loss of his good-time
credits are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE as frivolous pursuant to Section 1915(e) until
such time as the Heck conditions are met.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s civil rights claims regarding harassment
and retaliation are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE as frivolous pursuant to Section 1915
(e).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff’s request for habeas relief is DISMISSED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure to exhaust state court remedies.
Rule 11 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Proceedings for the U.S. District
Courts requires the district court to issue or deny a certificate of appealability when it enters
a final order adverse to the applicant. The court, after considering the record in this case
and the standard set forth in 28 U.S.C. Section 2253, denies a certificate of appealability
because the applicant has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional

right.
THUS DONE AND SIGNED, in chambers, in Shreveport, Louisiana, on this 6th day
of October, 2015.
