UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
SHREVEPORT DIVISION

JIMMIE NOEL RAY

CIVIL ACTION NO. 16-0810

VERSUS

JUDGE S. MAURICE HICKS, JR.

LA DEPT. OF PUBLIC SAFETY &
CORRECTIONS

MAGISTRATE JUDGE HORNSBY

JUDGMENT
For the reasons assigned in the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate
Judge previously filed herein, and having thoroughly reviewed the record, no written
objections having been filed, and concurring with the findings of the Magistrate Judge
under the applicable law;
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s complaint is dismissed without prejudice.
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. Jurists of reason would not find it debatable whether the petition states a
valid claim of the denial of a constitutional right and whether this court was correct in its
procedural ruling. See Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484, 120 S. Ct. 1595, 1604
(2000).
THUS DONE AND SIGNED in Shreveport, Louisiana, this 20th day of November,
2017.
