    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 07-6897

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


    Plaintiff - Appellee,
    versus
    ESTEBAN GARCIA, SR.,
    Defendant - Appellant.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
    District of North Carolina, at Asheville.
    Lacy H. Thornburg,
    District Judge. (1:05-cv-00059)

    Submitted:

    October 18, 2007

    Decided:

    October 25, 2007

    Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and KING, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

    Esteban Garcia, Sr., Appellant Pro Se. Amy Elizabeth Ray, OFFICE
    OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Asheville, North Carolina, for
    Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Esteban Garcia, Sr. seeks to appeal the district courts
    order denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion for reconsideration
    of the district courts order denying relief on 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); Reid v. Angelone, 369 F.3d 363, 369 (4th Cir.
    2004).

    A certificate of appealability will not issue absent a

    substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.


    U.S.C. 2253(c)(2) (2000).
    demonstrating

    that

    28

    A prisoner satisfies this standard by

    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 (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 Garcia 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
