                                 2
PER CURIAM:

            John Wesley Lee, Jr., seeks to appeal the district

court’s    order       denying     relief       on    his   28    U.S.C.       § 2254    (2000)

petition.        He also appeals the district court’s dismissal of his

motion     for    injunctive        relief.            We    deny       a    certificate       of

appealability and dismiss the appeal in No. 08-8549 and affirm

the district court in No. 09-6126.

            As to No. 08-8549, the district court’s order is not

appealable        unless      a    circuit           justice      or        judge    issues     a

certificate       of    appealability.                See    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.                                 See 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      Lee       has     not       made    the        requisite       showing.

Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss

the appeal.



                                                3
            As to No. 09-6126, we have reviewed the record and

find   no   reversible   error.   Accordingly,    we   affirm   for   the

reasons stated by the district court.     Lee v. Shearin, No. 8:00-

cv-03323-CCB (D. Md. Dec. 11, 2008).        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.

                                                  No. 09-6126 AFFIRMED
