IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

JOHN E. PRIDE PETITIONER

VS. CASE NO.: 5:15CV00210 BRW/BD

WENDY KELLEY, Director, 

Arkansas Department of Correction RESPONDENT

ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Recommended Disposition (“Recommendation”) filed by

Magistrate Judge Beth Deere. The parties have not filed any objections to the Recommendation.

After careful consideration, this Court adopts the Recommendation as its own. Petitioner

John E. Pride’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 18th day of September, 2015.
