PER CURIAM:

               Kenya    Lashan    Martin       seeks      to    appeal      the    district

court’s order denying relief on her 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West

Supp.    2008)    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 Martin 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

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.



                                                                                   DISMISSED
