IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

BRAD ALLEN MEEKS PETITIONER

VS. CASE NO. 05:05CV00164 

LARRY NORRIS, Director

Arkansas Department of Correction RESPONDENT

ORDER

 

Petitioner has filed a notice of appeal, which we construe as a motion for certificate of

appealability in this habeas corpus action. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2253(c)(2), such a certificate may

issue "only if the applicant has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right."

We have reviewed the allegations contained in the petitioner's request for certificate of appealability

and find the petitioner has not made the requisite showing. Accordingly, the motion for certificate

of appealability is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED this _14__ day of September, 2005.
