PER CURIAM:

            Bernie J.E. Dingle seeks to appeal the district court’s

orders denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254

(2000) (Appeal No. 04-7679), and his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion

(Appeal No. 05-6337).        An appeal may not be taken to this court

from the final order in a habeas corpus proceeding in which the

detention complained of arises out of process issued by a state

court unless a circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of

appealability.      28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1) (2000).       A certificate of

appealability will not issue for claims addressed by a district

court on the merits absent “a substantial showing of the denial of

a constitutional right.”          28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) (2000).       As to

claims dismissed by a district court solely on procedural grounds,

a certificate of appealability will not issue unless the petitioner

can demonstrate both “(1) ‘that jurists of reason would find it

debatable whether the petition states a valid claim of the denial

of a constitutional right and (2) ‘that jurists of reason would

find it debatable whether the district court was correct in its

procedural ruling.’”        Rose v. Lee, 

, 684 (4th Cir.

2001) (quoting Slack v. McDaniel, 

, 484 (2000)).

            We have independently reviewed the record and conclude

that Dingle has not satisfied either standard.           See Miller-El v.

Cockrell,     

,    336   (2003).   Accordingly,   we    deny

certificates of appealability, deny Dingle’s motion to compel, and

dismiss the appeals.       See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) (2000).    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
