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

27, 1997); No. 96-2698, Pinckney v. Department of the Navy, No. CA-

93-1914-2-18 (D.S.C. Sept. 18, 1996; May 27, 1997); No. 96-2699,

Fabers v. Department of the Navy, No. CA-93-3206-2-18AJ (D.S.C.

Sept. 18, 1996; May 27, 1997); No. 96-2720, Riley v. Department of

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

1997); No. 96-2721, Chavis v. Department of the Navy, No. CA-93-

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

Reed v. Department of the Navy, No. CA-93-3293-2-18AJ (D.S.C. Sept.

                                7
18, 1996; May 27, 1997); No. 97-1859, Williams v. Department of the

Navy, No. CA-93-2410-2-18AJ (D.S.C. May 27, 1997); No. 97-1860,

Moore v. Department of the Navy, No. CA-93-3206-2-18AJ (D.S.C. May

27, 1997). 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.
