PER CURIAM.

James Frederick Newport appeals the district court's orders disposing of his Privacy Act and Freedom of Information Act claims, denying his motion to compel the United States Attorney General to appear as his counsel, and granting defendants' motion to stay discovery. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties' submissions, we conclude Newport is not entitled to relief. We affirm the district court without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. A true copy.
