IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

BENJAMIN L. EAGLE PETITIONER

v. Case No. 5:16-cv-00055 KGB/BD

SHELIA SHARP, Director, 

Arkansas Department of Community Correction RESPONDENT

ORDER

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

Judge Beth Deere (Dkt. No. 5). Petitioner Benjamin L. Eagle has not filed any objections. After 

careful review of the Recommended Disposition, the Court concludes that the Recommended 

Disposition should be, and hereby is, approved and adopted as this Court’s findings in all 

respects. Petitioner Benjamin L. Eagle’s petition for writ of habeas corpus is dismissed without 

prejudice for lack of jurisdiction and his motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is denied 

as moot (Dkt. Nos. 1; 2). Before filing a second or successive habeas corpus petition in federal 

court, a petitioner must seek and receive an order from the appropriate court of appeals 

authorizing the district court to consider the petition. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A).

When entering a final order adverse to a habeas corpus petitioner, the Court must issue or 

deny a certificate of appealability. See 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.

So ordered this 28th day of April, 2016.
