PER CURIAM:

               Travis Deon Dixon seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2009)

motion.        The order is not appealable unless a circuit justice or

judge       issues     a     certificate         of     appealability.          28     U.S.C.

§ 2253(c)(1) (2006).                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)      (2006).        A

prisoner        satisfies          this        standard       by     demonstrating         that

reasonable       jurists          would    find       that    any     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, 537 U.S.

322, 336-38 (2003); Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000);

Rose v. Lee, 252 F.3d 676, 683-84 (4th Cir. 2001).                                   We have

independently reviewed the record and conclude that Dixon has

not     made    the    requisite          showing. *         Accordingly,      we     deny    a

certificate       of       appealability          and     dismiss     the    appeal.          We

dispense        with       oral    argument       because       the    facts    and        legal




        *
       We recognize that Begay v. United States, 128 S. Ct.                                1581
(2008), has abrogated United States v. James, 337 F.3d 387                                 (4th
Cir. 2003).   However, Dixon is not entitled to relief on                                  this
account.   United States v. Hunter, 559 F.3d 1188 (11th                                    Cir.
2009).

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
