             In the above entitled cause the Clerk will enter:

     Appellant mother appeals from the family court's order dismissing a
petition to have her children declared Children in Need of Services (CHINS)
pursuant to 33 V.S.A. { 5526.  Neither the state's attorney for Rutland
County, who filed the CHINS petition, nor the attorney for the children
appealed the dismissal of the CHINS petition.  Appellee father moved to
dismiss the appeal on the grounds that appellant has no standing.

     The generally recognized rule is that a party must be aggrieved by a
decision to appeal therefrom.  Howard Savings Inst. v. Peep, 34 N.J. 494,
