Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 00-CV-1499
__________________________________________
June 22, 2001
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, STEWART and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Mack Henry Richardson appeals the district court’s dismissal for failure to state a claim of
his civil lawsuit against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
§ 925A and 5 U.S.C. § 522a(g)(1)(C), arising out of his inability to reacquire firearms as a result of
his 1973 felony conviction. Richardson argues that he was improperly denied the right to acquire
weapons because the Louisiana Constitution restored his civil rights. He also argues that the district
court erred in determining that the FBI was exempt from suit under the Privacy Act.

Having conducted a de novo review, (see Jackson v. City of Beaumont Police Dep’t, 958 F.2d
616, 618 (5th Cir. 1992)), we conclude that for substantially the same reasons articulated by the
district court in its dismissal order, the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
