IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

JAMES RAY THOMPSON

ADC # 148592 PETITIONER

v. Case No. 5:13-cv-231 KGB

RAY HOBBS, Director, Arkansas

Department of Correction RESPONDENT

ORDER

The Court has received the Proposed Findings and Recommendations from United States 

Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney (Dkt. No. 22) and the objections filed by Petitioner James 

Ray Thompson, which he styles as a “supplement to motion to alter or amend judgment” (Dkt. 

No. 23). After carefully reviewing the Proposed Findings and Recommendations and Mr. 

Thompson’s objections, as well as a de novo review of the record, the Court approves and adopts

in their entirety the Proposed Findings and Recommendations as this Court’s findings in all 

respects. Therefore, the Court dismisses with prejudice Mr. Thompson’s petition for writ of 

habeas corpus. The Court will not issue a certificate of appealability because Mr. Thompson has 

not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c). The 

Court denies as moot Mr. Thompson’s motion to stay (Dkt. No. 24).

SO ORDERED this 14th day of May, 2015.
