IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

HOWARD WAYNE JONES PETITIONER

v. NO. 5:09CV00353 JMM

LARRY NORRIS, Director of the RESPONDENT

Arkansas Department of Correction

ORDER

The Court has received findings and a recommendation from Magistrate Judge H.

David Young. After a careful review of the findings and recommendation, the timely

objections received thereto, and a de novo review of the record, the Court concludes

that the findings and recommendation should be, and hereby are, approved and adopted

in their entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects. The motion to dismiss filed by

respondent Larry Norris (“Norris”) is granted. See Document 6. The petition for writ of

habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254 filed by petitioner Howard Wayne Jones is

denied because he failed to obtain the approval of the United States Court of Appeals

for the Eighth Circuit before filing his petition. All requested relief is denied, and

judgment will be entered for Norris.
