IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

DENNIS HUTCHINSON PETITIONER

ADC#143206

v. NO. 5:15CV00342 JLH/BD

WENDY KELLEY, Director, 

Arkansas Department of Correction RESPONDENT

ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Recommended Disposition (“Recommendation”) filed by

Magistrate Judge Beth Deere. In addition, the Court has considered Mr. Hutchinson’s objections to

the Recommendation and has reviewed de novo those portions of the record relevant to those

objections.

After careful consideration, this Court adopts the Recommendation as its own.1

 Dennis

Hutchinson’s petition for writ of habeas corpus (docket entry #1) is denied and 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 30th day of November, 2015.
