MEMORANDUM **

Glen W. Easter and Honey G. Easter appeal pro se the district court’s judgment dismissing their action against Nevada State Bank and Wells Fargo Bank alleging violation of the Right to Financial Privacy Act (“RFPA”), 12 U.S.C. §§ 3401-3422 .

The district court properly dismissed the Easters’ action because the RFPA does not apply to state and local governments. See 12 U.S.C. §§ 3401-3403 (limit *356 ing access by the federal government to personal financial records). The Easters’ sole contention on appeal is that the RFPA should be read more broadly to encompass the actions of the City of North Las Vegas and the Clark County District Attorney. This contention fails because the RFPA defines “Government authority” as “any agency or department of the United States, or any officer, employee, or agent thereof,” 12 U.S.C. § 3401 (3), and nothing in the statutory context or legislative history supports deviating from the statute’s plain meaning.
