assessment of the constitutional claims by the district court is debatable or wrong and that any dispositive procedural ruling by the district court is likewise debatable. Miller-El v. Cockrell,

independently reviewed the record and conclude that Sanchez has not made the requisite showing. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of
appealability and dismiss the appeal. We grant Sanchez's motion to seal medical record exhibits and deny his motion to expand the certificate of appealability. 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
