See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           Douglas Michael Vanvleet seeks to appeal the district

court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge

and denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion.                   The

order is not appealable unless a circuit justice or judge issues a

certificate of appealability.        28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1) (2000).           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)   (2000).   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 Vanvleet 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




      *
      Vanvleet has waived appellate review of two of his claims by
failing to timely file specific objections to the magistrate
judge’s report and recommendation after receiving proper notice.
