ORDER

Before TACHA, Chief Circuit Judge, HENRY and HARTZ, Circuit Judges.

A private citizen does not have standing to initiate or maintain a disciplinary

proceeding, or to appeal if a court declines to discipline an attorney. See, e.g.,

Mattice v. Meyer, 353 F. 2d 316 (8th Cir. 1965).

This appeal is DISMISSED.
