IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

LAMAR KEMP

ADC # 085183 PETITIONER

v. Case No. 5:16-cv-00231-KGB/JTR

WENDY KELLEY, Director,

Arkansas Department of Correction DEFENDANT

ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Recommended Disposition submitted by United States 

Magistrate Judge J. Thomas Ray (Dkt. No. 5). No objections have been filed, although petitioner 

Lamar Kemp submitted a filing regarding his underlying Petition (Dkt. No. 6). After careful 

consideration, 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. Judgment will be 

entered accordingly. It is therefore ordered that: 

1. Petitioner Lamar Kemp’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is 

granted (Dkt. No. 3).

2. Mr. Kemp’s petition for writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 is 

dismissed without prejudice so that Mr. Kemp may seek authorization from the Eighth Circuit 

Court of Appeals, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3)(A), to file a successive habeas petition

(Dkt. No. 1). All pending motions are denied as moot (Dkt. Nos. 7; 8).

3. A certificate of appealability is denied pursuant to Rule 11(a) of the Rules 

Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts. 

Dated this 1st day of December, 2016.
