DELTA DIVISION

BRUCE HEARD, JR.

ADC #168843 PETITIONER

v. Case No. 2:19-cv-00015 KGB-JTR

ST. FRANCIS COUNTY RESPONDENT

ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Recommended Disposition submitted by United States 

Magistrate Judge J. Thomas Ray (Dkt. No. 2). Plaintiff Bruce Heard, Jr. filed an objection, which 

is a copy of his petition for writ of habeas corpus (Dkt. Nos. 1, 3). After careful consideration of 

the Recommended Disposition, Mr. Heard’s objection, 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 (Dkt. No. 2). Accordingly, the Court dismisses 

without prejudice Mr. Heard’s petition for writ of habeas corpus (Dkt. No. 1). 

A certificate of appealability is denied, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)-(2); Rule 11(a), 

Rules Governing § 2254 Cases in United States District Courts.

It is so ordered this 12th day of May, 2020.
