IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

MELVIN EARL SIMS PLAINTIFF

v. CASE NO. 5:14CV00227 BSM-BD

DAMETRIA ROCHELLE, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

The recommended disposition from Magistrate Judge Beth Deere has been received. 

No objections have been filed. After careful consideration, it is concluded that the

recommended disposition should be, and hereby is, approved and adopted in its entirety. 

Sims’s petition for writ of habeas corpus [Doc. No. 2] is dismissed without prejudice. 

When entering a final order adverse to a habeas corpus petitioner, a certificate of

appealability must be issued or denied. 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 to issue a certificate of appealability. Accordingly, a certificate of appealability is

denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 14th day of July 2015.
