6 PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals, we granted Appellants’ peti-

tions for rehearing in order to permit them to file their informal

briefs, which we have now received and reviewed. We affirm the

district court’s orders.

In case Nos. 96-2610, 96-2698, 96-2699, 96-2720, 96-2721, 96-

2771, 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 denying their motion

styled “Motion for Status Conference Hearing and Rule 60(b) Errors

Correction.” In Nos. 97-1859 and 97-1860, the Appellants appeal

only the denial of the same motion. We have again reviewed the

record and the district court’s thorough and well-reasoned opinions

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the orders on

the reasoning of the district court. No. 96-2610, Myers v. Depart-

ment of the Navy, No. CA-93-1064-2-18AJ (D.S.C. Sept. 18, 1996; May

the Navy, No. CA-93-2410-2-18AJ (D.S.C. Sept. 18, 1996; May 27,

2410-2-18AJ (D.S.C. Sept. 18, 1996; May 27, 1997); No. 96-2771,

legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before

the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
