Reasonable jurists would not find it debatable or wrong that the habeas petition is timebarred. See 28 U.S.C. ยง 2253(c); Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484-85 (2000) (holding that
for a certificate of appealability to issue when a habeas petition has been dismissed on procedural
grounds, a petitioner must make a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right and
show that jurists of reason could conclude that the dismissal was debatable or incorrect).
