PER CURIAM:
Sean D. Woodson seeks to appeal the district court’s
orders denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) petition
and his motion to alter or amend that judgment.

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) (2012).
When the
district court denies relief on the merits, a prisoner satisfies

would
find that the district court’s assessment of the constitutional
claims is debatable or wrong.

We have independently reviewed the record and conclude
that Woodson has not made the requisite showing.
Accordingly,
we deny Woodson’s motion for a certificate of appealability and
summary reversal, deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and
dismiss the appeal.
