PER CURIAM:

            Kevin McDonald seeks to appeal the district court’s

orders denying       relief       on   his      28    U.S.C.A.     § 2255   (West    Supp.

2011)     motion    and     his     other       various      motions    attacking     his

conviction.        These orders are not appealable unless a circuit

justice    or    judge     issues      a   certificate       of    appealability.      28

U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(B) (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).               When the

district court denies relief on the merits, a prisoner satisfies

this    standard     by    demonstrating            that   reasonable   jurists      would

find that the district court’s assessment of the constitutional

claims is debatable or wrong.                   Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473,

484    (2000);     see    Miller-El        v.   Cockrell,     537    U.S.   322,    336-38

(2003).     When the district court denies relief on procedural

grounds, the prisoner must demonstrate both that the dispositive

procedural ruling is debatable, and that the motion states a

debatable claim of the denial of a constitutional right.                            Slack,

529 U.S. at 484-85.             We have independently reviewed the record

and conclude that McDonald has not made the requisite showing.

Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss

the appeal.        We deny all of McDonald’s outstanding motions.                       We

dispense     with        oral   argument        because      the    facts    and    legal



                                                2
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.



                                                           DISMISSED
