MEMORANDUM ^**

** This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir.R. 36-3.

Gregory Bernard Micklus, formerly a prisoner in the Arizona State prison system, appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights complaint. We affirm because Micklus failed to state a claim for violation of his constitutional rights. A criminal conviction is a matter of public record. Its disclosure is not a violation of any privacy right. United States v. Perlmuter, 693 F.2d 1290, 1293 (9th Cir.1982); United States v. Nevitt, 563 F.2d 406, 409 (9th Cir.1977), cert. denied, 444 U.S. 847 (1979).

AFFIRMED.
