UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-7276

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

 Plaintiff – Appellee,

v.

RICO JARUIASE JOY,

 Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of 

South Carolina, at Florence. Terry L. Wooten, Chief District 

Judge. (4:06-cr-01317-TLW-6; 4:14-cv-02187-TLW)

Submitted: October 16, 2014 Decided: October 22, 2014

Before MOTZ, WYNN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Rico Jaruiase Joy, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Frank Daley, Jr., 

Assistant United States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina, for 

Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
2

PER CURIAM:

Rico Jaruiase Joy seeks to appeal the district court’s 

order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. The 

order is not appealable unless a circuit justice or judge issues 

a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(B)

(2012). 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 this standard by 

demonstrating that reasonable jurists would find that the 

district court’s assessment of the constitutional claims is 

debatable or wrong. Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 

(2000); see Miller-El v. Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322, 336-38 (2003). 

When the district court denies relief on procedural grounds, the 

prisoner must demonstrate both that the dispositive procedural 

ruling is debatable, and that the motion states a debatable 

claim of the denial of a constitutional right. Slack, 529 U.S. 

at 484-85. 

We have independently reviewed the record and conclude 

that Joy has not made the requisite showing. The district court 

lacked jurisdiction to consider Joy’s motion to vacate because 

it was a successive and unauthorized § 2255 motion. In the 

absence of pre-filing authorization from this court, the 

district court lacks jurisdiction to hear a successive § 2255 
3

motion. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244(b)(3) (2012). 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 

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
