Herman Eugene JACKSON, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Kenneth L. OSBORNE, Warden, M.C.T.C., Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 05-6897.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: Oct. 20, 2005.
    Decided: Oct. 28, 2005.
    
      Herman Eugene Jackson, Appellant Pro Se.
    Before NIEMEYER and SHEDD, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
    Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).
   PER CURIAM:

Herman Eugene Jackson seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing as untimely his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000) petition. 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(1) (2000). The order is not appealable unless a circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) (2000). A certificate of appealability will not issue absent “a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) (2000). A prisoner satisfies this standard by demonstrating that reasonable jurists would find the district court’s assessment of his constitutional claims is debatable and that any dispositive procedural rulings by the district court are also debatable or wrong. See Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336-38, 123 S.Ct. 1029, 154 L.Ed.2d 931 (2003); Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484, 120 S.Ct. 1595, 146 L.Ed.2d 542 (2000); Rose v. Lee, 252 F.3d 676, 683-84 (4th Cir.2001). We have independently reviewed the record and conclude that Jackson has not demonstrated error in the district court’s procedural ruling. Accordingly, we deny Jackson’s motion for a jury trial, deny a certificate of appealability, and dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
