IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

CENTRAL DIVISION 

TERRY ANTONIO LEE PETITIONER 

v. Case No. 4:24-cv-00497 KGB 

DEXTER PAYNE, Director of the Arkansas 

Division of Correction RESPONDENT 

ORDER 

Before the Court are a Recommended Disposition (“Recommendation”) submitted by 

United States Magistrate Judge Patricia S. Harris (Dkt. No. 14) and a motion to dismiss filed by 

defendant Dexter Payne (Dkt. No. 5). Mr. Lee filed objections to the Recommendation (Dkt. No. 

19). After conducting a de novo review of the record, the Court adopts the Recommendation in its 

entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects. For the reasons stated in the Recommendation, the 

Court grants the motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. 5). Mr. Lee’s petition for a writ of habeas corpus is 

dismissed without prejudice (Dkt. No. 2). The Court declines to issue a certificate of appealability. 

Mr. Lee may still apply to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals for a certificate of appealability. 

See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(B). 

It is so ordered this 21st day of January, 2025.
