 In the matter of the Complaint filed by

 ________________________                             Case No. 07-3234

 PATRICK LYNN,                                      (D.C. No. 07-0102-AD)

             Plaintiff-Appellant,

 v.

 CHARLES ROGERS;
 STEPHEN G. MIRAKIAN;
 LINDEN APPEL; and
 JULIE ST. PETER,

             Defendants-Appellees.

                                      ORDER

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

      This is an appeal from a district court order dismissing appellant’s disciplinary

complaints against four attorneys, Charles Rogers, Stephen G. Mirakian, Linden

Appel, and Julie St. Peter, and from an order denying appellant’s motion for

reconsideration.
      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.

                                             Entered for the Court
