The localization properties of electrons moving in a plane perpendicular to aspatially-correlated static magnetic field of random amplitude and vanishingmean are investigated. We apply the method of level statistics to theeigenvalues and perform a multifractal analysis for the eigenstates. From thesize and disorder dependence of the variance of the nearest neighbor energyspacing distribution, $P_{W,L}(s)$, a single branch scaling curve is obtained.Contrary to a recent claim, we find no metal-insulator-transition in thepresence of diagonal disorder. Instead, as in the uncorrelated random magneticfield case, conventional unitary behavior (all states are localized) isobserved. The eigenstates at the band center, which in the absence of diagonaldisorder are believed to belong to the chiral unitary symmetry class, are shownto exhibit a $f(\alpha)$-distribution for not too weak random fields. Thecorresponding generalized multifractal dimensions are calculated and found tobe different from the results known for a QHE-system.
