IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

CENTRAL DIVISION 

MICHAEL MITCHELL PLAINTIFF 

v. Case No. 4:24-cv-00342-KGB

DEXTER PAYNE, Director 

Arkansas Division of Correction 

 

RESPONDENT 

ORDER 

 The Court has reviewed the Recommended Disposition submitted by United States 

Magistrate Judge Edie R. Ervin (Dkt. No. 8). Although the Court granted petitioner Michael 

Mitchell an extension of time to object to Judge Ervin’s Recommended Disposition, Mr. Mitchell 

did not object to the Recommended Disposition; the extended time for objecting has passed (Dkt. 

No. 10). After careful consideration of the Recommended Disposition, the Court concludes that 

the Recommended Disposition should be, and hereby is, approved and adopted in its entirety as 

this Court’s findings in all respects (Dkt. No. 8). The Court dismisses with prejudice Mr. 

Mitchell’s petition for writ of habeas corpus (Dkt. No. 1). The Court denies a certificate of 

appealability because Mr. Mitchell has not made a substantial showing of a denial of a 

constitutional right. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c). 

 It is so ordered this 2nd day of December, 2024.
