PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

this civil action without requiring service of process pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1985). We have reviewed the record and the

district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm substantially on the reasoning of the district court.
Bailey v. Clay, No. CA-95-1674-L (D. Md. Aug. 31, 1995). We note
that because Appellant has alleged mere negligence on the part of

the Defendants, he has not stated a claim under the Privacy Act. 5

U.S.C.A. § 552a(g) (West 1977 & Supp. 1995); see Edison v. Depart-
ment of the Army, 

, 842-46 (11th Cir. 1982). We deny

Appellant's motions for the appointment of counsel and 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
