IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

RODNEY L. JONES 

ADC# 148884 PETITIONER

VS. 5:15-CV-00357-BRW-BD

WENDY KELLEY, Director, 

Arkansas Department of Correction RESPONDENT

ORDER

I have reviewed the Recommended Disposition (“Recommendation”) filed by

Magistrate Judge Beth Deere. I have also considered Mr. Jones’s objections to the

Recommendation and I have reviewed de novo those portions of the record relating to Mr.

Jones’s objections. After careful consideration, I adopt as my findings in all respects the

Recommendation in its entirety. Accordingly, Petitioner Rodney Jones’s petition for writ

of habeas corpus (Doc. No. 1) is DENIED and DISMISSED with prejudice.

A certificate of appealability under Rule 11 of the Rules Governing Section 2254

Cases is denied because Mr. Jones has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a

constitutional right.1

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 21st day of June, 2016. 

 /s/Billy Roy Wilson
