Johnson v. Payne

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
CENTRAL DIVISION
ARICK MARQUETTE JOHNSON 	PETITIONER
ADC #185962
v. 	Case No. 4:25-cv-00380-KGB
DEXTER PAYNE 	RESPONDENT
ORDER
The Court has reviewed the Recommended Disposition submitted by United States
Magistrate Judge Edie R. Ervin (Dkt. No. 26). Petitioner Arick Marquett Johnson has not filed
any objections, and the time to file objections has passed. Accordingly, after careful consideration,
the Court approves and adopts the Recommended Disposition in its entirety as this Court’s findings
in all respects (Id.). Johnson’s petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied and dismissed without
prejudice (Dkt. No. 2). Johnson’s motion for summary judgment and motion for relief are denied
as moot (Dkt. Nos. 24; 25). Judgment will be entered accordingly. The Court declines to issue a
certificate of appealability. Johnson may still apply to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals for a
certificate of appealability. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(B).
It is so ordered this the 10th day of November, 2025.
