ORDER

This pro se Michigan plaintiff appeals the district court's judgment dismissing his claim for invasion of privacy by intrusion. The appeal has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon consideration of the record and the briefs, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).

Plaintiff alleged that defendants unlawfully disclosed confidential information including his name and home address. He alleged that the disclosure of this information without his consent caused him aggravation, harassment, annoyance and mental anguish. The district court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim.

Reviewing the record in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, we conclude that plaintiff presented no genuine issue of material fact and that defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242 (1986). Contrary to plaintiff's arguments, the disclosure of his name and home address is not an actionable invasion of a cognizable right to privacy. See State Employees Ass'n v. Department of Management and Budget, 428 Mich. 104, 404 N.W.2d 606, 615-16 (1987); Tobin v. Michigan Civil Service Comm'n, 416 Mich. 661, 331 N.W.2d 184, 189 (1982).

Accordingly, the district court's judgment of dismissal, entered August 27, 1987, is affirmed. Rule 9(b) (5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
