PER CURIAM:

               David Glenn Green seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his 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 Green 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
