What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals. Your task is to identify the type of court which made the original decision. Code cases removed from a state court as originating in federal district court. For "State court", include habeas corpus petitions after conviction in state court and petitions from courts of territories other than the U.S. District Courts. For "Special DC court", include courts other than the US District Court for DC. For "Other", include courts such as the Tax Court and a court martial.

ORDER
The appellant brought this action based on Section 1983, Title 42 U.S.C.A., jurisdiction being asserted under Section 1343, Title 28 U.S.C.A., for deprivation of his alleged civil rights by his commitment to and confinement in a mental institution. The claim is made that the appel-lee, a private practicing attorney, by his fraudulent conduct in the sanity proceedings resulted in appellant’s confinement in a mental institution.
The District Court sustained appellee’s motion to dismiss the action.
Appellee, acting as a private lawyer, charged with making false statements in sanity proceedings which resulted in appellant’s commitment to Longview State Hospital, a mental institution, was not amenable to action based on civil rights statute. Kenny v. Fox, 232 F.2d 288 (1956) C.A. 6.
It is, therefore, ordered and adjudged that the District Court’s judgment dismissing the action is in all things affirmed.
