IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

KeONDRA MONTREL CHESTANG PETITIONER

ADC #134005

v. CASE NO.: 5:15CV00121-SWW-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. This Court adopts the Recommendation as its own. KeOndra Montrel

Chestang’s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (docket entry #2) is 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 21st day of August, 2015.
