Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 4:07-cv-2703
Before REAVLEY, DAVIS, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
No. 08-20617
PER CURIAM:*
Plaintiff-Appellant Donna Arensdorf appeals the district court’s dismissal
pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(2) and 12(b)(6) of her claims
under the Privacy Act of 1974, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1985(3) and 1986, and Bivens v. Six
Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics,
403 U.S. 388,
91 S. Ct.
1999 (1971), against numerous Internal Revenue Service and other officials in
their individual capacities.1 Based on our de novo review of the record, see In re
Katrina Canal Breaches Litig.,
495 F.3d 191, 205 (5th Cir. 2007); Revell v. Lidov,
317 F.3d 467, 469 (5th Cir. 2002), we conclude that Plaintiff has failed to identify
any error in the district court’s ruling. Indeed, her brief wholly fails to address
the court’s reasoned basis for dismissal, which we find fully supported by the
governing law. We therefore affirm the judgment of the district court.
AFFIRMED.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR . R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .
R. 47.5.4.
1
Notwithstanding the style of the case, Plaintiff’s original complaint expressly limited
her suit to these defendants in their individual capacities.
