EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

RICHARD TOMMY GORDON PETITIONER

v. Case No. 5:14-cv-00456 KGB-PSH

WENDY KELLEY, Director of the 

Arkansas Department of Correction RESPONDENT

ORDER

 The Court has received Proposed Findings and Recommendations from United States 

Magistrate Judge Patricia S. Harris (Dkt. No. 27). Plaintiff Richard Tommy Gordon has filed an 

objection to the Proposed Findings and Recommendations (Dkt. No. 28). After careful review of 

the Proposed Findings and Recommendations, the timely objections, and a de novo review of the 

record, the Court concludes that Proposed Findings and Recommendations should be, and hereby 

are, approved and adopted in their entirety as this Court’s findings in all respects.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253 and Rule 11 of the Rules Governing Section 2554 Cases in 

the United States District Court, the Court must determine whether to issue a certificate of 

appealability in the final order. In § 2254 cases, a certificate of appealability may issue only if 

the applicant has made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. 28 U.S.C. § 

2253(c)(1)-(2). The Court finds no issue on which petitioner has made a substantial showing of 

a denial of a constitutional right. Thus, the certificate of appealability is denied.

 SO ORDERED this 8th day of January, 2016.
