O R D E R
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
6
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.

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.
