PER CURIAM:
James Harrison Singletary seeks to appeal the district court's order denying hisPage 523
Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b) motion for reconsideration of the district court's order denying relief on his28 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); Reid v. Angelone,369 F.3d 363, 369 (4th Cir. 2004). A certificate of appeal-ability 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, 336-38,123 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); Rosev. Lee, 252 F.3d 676, 683-84 (4th Cir. 2001). We have independently reviewed the record and conclude that Singletary 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 presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED.
