December 6, 2001
Before JONES, SMITH, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Nicolas Estiverne appeals from the district court’s order granting summary judgment dismissing his claims arising under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985(3), and the district court’s order dismissing his claims arising under 12 U.S.C. §§ 3405, 3407, for failure to state a claim under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). Estiverne’s motion to strike appellees’ brief is DENIED.

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.

No. 01-30578 -2-

We review the district court’s orders de novo. Gibbs v. Grimmette, 254 F.3d 545, 547 (5th Cir. 2001) (reviewing district court’s ruling granting summary judgment de novo); Castro Romero v. Becken, 256 F.3d 349, 353 (5th Cir. 2001) (reviewing district court’s ruling under Rule 12(b)(6) de novo).

Estiverne enjoys no constitutional right of privacy in his bank records. See United States v. Miller, 425 U.S. 435, 440 (1975). Because Estiverne has failed to state a constitutional violation, his claims under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985(3), fail as a matter of law. American Mfrs. Mut. Ins. Co. v. Sullivan, 526 U.S. 40, 49-50 (1999); Southard v. Texas Bd. of Criminal Justice, 114 F.3d 539, 556 n.30 (5th Cir. 1997).

Estiverne’s claims arising under 12 U.S.C. §§ 3405, 3407, fail to state a claim upon which relief may be granted as the statutes apply only to agencies or departments of the United States. See 12 U.S.C. § 3401(3).

Because Estiverne has failed to demonstrate any reversible error, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

AFFIRMED. MOTION DENIED.
