PER CURIAM:
Marcus Antwon Greene seeks to appeal the district court’s
order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012) petition.

When the district court denies relief on procedural grounds, the
prisoner must demonstrate both that the dispositive procedural
ruling is debatable, and that the petition states a debatable
claim of the denial of a constitutional right.

We have independently reviewed the record and conclude that
Greene has not made the requisite showing.
Accordingly, we deny
a certificate of appealability, deny Greene’s motion to compel,
and dismiss the appeal.
We dispense with oral argument because
