MEMORANDUM ***
Steven Earl Grace appeals pro se the district court’s partial dismissal for lack of standing and partial summary judgment for the defendants in his action to compel the Navy to award his father certain military medals, and to recover his father’s lost military service record. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo, Intercontinental Travel Mktg., Inc., v. F.D.I.C., 45 F.3d 1278, 1282 (9th Cir.1994), and affirm.
*77 The district court properly concluded that Grace lacked standing to request the award of medals because Grace did not show he would inherit those medals or that his family’s honor was damaged by the lack of medals. See Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560-63 , 112 S.Ct. 2130 , 119 L.Ed.2d 351 (1992).
The district court properly granted summary judgment to defendants on Grace’s claim to recover his father’s lost service records because there is evidence that the relevant agencies conducted searches that were reasonably calculated to uncover all relevant documents. See Zemansky v. United States E.P.A., 767 F.2d 569, 571 (9th Cir.1985).
Grace’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
