    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff—Appellee, v. Abayomi Owosheni SHOKUNBI, Defendant—Appellant.
    No. 05-7131.
    United States Court of Appeals, • Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Dec. 19, 2005.
    Decided Jan. 11, 2006.
    Abayomi Owosheni Shokunbi, Appellant Pro Se. Stephen David Schiller, Office of the United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
    Before LUTTIG, TRAXLER, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).
   PER CURIAM:

Abayomi Owosheni Shokunbi seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). The order is not appealable unless a circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) (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 the district court’s assessment of his constitutional claims is debatable and that any dispositive procedural rulings by the district court are also debatable or wrong. See Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336—38, 123 S.Ct. 1029, 154 L.Ed.2d 931 (2003); Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484, 120 S.Ct. 1595, 146 L.Ed.2d 542 (2000); Rose v. Lee, 252 F.3d 676, 683-84 (4th Cir.2001). We have independently reviewed the record and conclude that Shokunbi has not made the requisite showing. Accordingly, we deny Shokunbi leave to proceed in for-ma pauperis, deny a certificate of appealability, and dismiss this 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
