UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 05-7108
JERRY LEVI REITMIRE,
Petitioner - Appellant,
versus
STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA ex rel. State of
Florida,
Respondent - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern
District of West Virginia, at Huntington. Robert C. Chambers,
District Judge. (CA-04-1350-3)
Submitted: December 12, 2005 Decided: January 5, 2006
Before LUTTIG, MICHAEL, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Jerry Levi Reitmire, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Jerry Levi Reitmire, a state prisoner, seeks to appeal
the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the
magistrate judge and dismissing without prejudice his petition
under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) for failure to exhaust state court
remedies. The order is not appealable 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 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 that his
constitutional claims are 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 (2003);
Slack v. McDaniel,
529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000); Rose v. Lee,
252 F.3d
676, 683 (4th Cir. 2001). We have independently reviewed the
record and conclude that Reitmire has not made the requisite
showing.
Accordingly we deny a certificate of appealability and
dismiss the appeal. We deny Reitmire’s motion for stay and motion
for bail and 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
