PETITIONER 5:11cv-00316-JMM-JJV RAY HOBBS, Director, Arkansas Department of Correction RESPONDENT ORDER The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition submitted by United States Magistrate Judge Joe J.

After carefully considering the objections and making a de novo review of the record including the state court transcripts, the Court concludes that the Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition should be, and hereby are, approved and adopted in their entirety as this Court's findings in all respects. Although Petitioner’s arguments are well-founded, the Court cannot say that the state court decision was “contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established federal law, as determined by the Supreme Court of the United States.” 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1). IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that: 1. Mr. Newsome’s § 2254 Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. No. 2) is DISMISSED with prejudice, and the requested relief is DENIED. SO ORDERED this 8th day of November, 2012. _____________________________________ JAMES M. MOODY UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 1 Dockets.Justia.com
