                              _____________

Before McMILLIAN, FAGG, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
                              _____________


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.
