 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 132 F.3d 38 (9th Cir. 1997) Submitted Dec. 15, 1997. **Dec. 18, 1997

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Montana Jack D. Shanstrom, District Judge, Presiding

Before SNEED, LEAVY, and TROTT, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM* 

Ronald J. Allison appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his action brought under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552) and the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a), alleging that the Internal Revenue Service failed to respond to his requests for information. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

We review de novo the district court's dismissal pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) (6), see Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 815-16 (9th Cir. 1994) (per curiam) Because amendment of Allison's complaint would be futile, see Reddy v. Litton Industries, Inc., 912 F.2d 291, 296 (9th Cir. 1990), the district court did not err by dismissing with prejudice Allison's action for the reasons stated in its order entered April 8, 1997.

AFFIRMED.1
