    Submitted: Aug. 18, 2005.
    Decided: Aug. 26, 2005.
    Terry Eugene Cureton, Appellant pro se.
    Before WIDENER, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
    
      Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

   PER CURIAM:

Terry Eugene Cureton seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing as successive 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 both that the district court’s assessment of the constitutional claims is debatable or wrong and that any dispositive procedural rulings by the district court are also debatable or wrong. 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 Cure-ton has not made the requisite showing. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal.

DISMISSED
