Appellants in the above-styled appeals were not afforded an opportunity to file informal briefs prior to our disposition of their appeals. In order for these Appellants to submit informal briefs for our review before we act on their appeals, we construe their post-decision pro se filings as petitions for rehearing and grant rehearing for the limited purpose of reviewing their informal briefs. We direct that the Clerk’s Office issue an informal briefing order in these appeals directing that these Appellants mail their informal briefs to this Court no later than August 3, 1998.

PER CURIAM: This is a consolidated appeal. In case Nos. 96-2324, 96-2325, 96-2365, 96-2610, 96-2698, 96-2699, 96-2700, 96-2720, 96-2721, 96- 2771, and 96-2772, the Appellants appeal the district court's orders granting the Navy summary judgment in their civil action filed under the Privacy Act, see 5 U.S.C. § 552a (1994), and deny- ing their motion styled "Motion for a Status Conference Hearing and Rule 60(b) Errors Correction." In case Nos. 97-1860, 97-1859, 97- 1858, and 97-1857, the Appellants appeal only the denial of the mo- tion styled "Motion for a Status Conference Hearing and Rule 60(b) Errors Correction." Finally, the Appellant in No. 97-1768 appeals the district court's order granting counsel's request to be relieved. We have reviewed the record and the district court's thorough and well-reasoned opinions and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. No. 96-2324, Knight v. Department of the Navy, No. CA-93-1064-2-18AJ (D.S.C. Sept. 18, 1996; May 27, 1997); No. 96-2325, Lee v.

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.
