IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

EARNEST LEE CHAMBLISS, Jr PETITIONER

v. Case No. 5:15-cv-00084-KGB-BD

WENDY KELLEY, Director, 

Arkansas Department of Correction RESPONDENT

ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Recommended Disposition filed by United States Magistrate 

Judge Beth Deere (Dkt. No. 7). Petitioner Earnest Lee Chambliss, Jr., has filed an objection to 

the Recommended Disposition (Dkt. No. 8), and defendant Wendy Kelley has filed a response 

(Dkt. No. 9). After careful review of the Recommended Disposition, the timely objections, and a 

de novo review of the record, the Court concludes that the Recommended Disposition should be, 

and hereby is, approved and adopted in its entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects.

Accordingly, Mr. Chambliss’s petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied and dismissed 

with prejudice (Dkt. No. 2).

The Court directs that, in keeping with Mr. Chambliss’s request, the Clerk of Clerk of 

send a file marked copy of Mr. Chambliss’s objections to the Recommended Disposition to Mr. 

Chambliss at his address of record (Dkt. No. 8).

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.
