Opinion
No. 10-4118.
October 26, 2010.
Before HARTZ, ANDERSON, and TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judges.
ORDER
William L. Echols filed a complaint of attorney misconduct in the United States District Court for the District of Utah. The district court dismissed the complaint. Mr. Echols has filed a notice of appeal from that decision.
This court has held that "[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." In re Lynn, 505 F.3d 1323, 1324 (10th Cir. 2007). Because Mr. Echols lacks standing to challenge on appeal the dismissal of his attorney-misconduct complaint, this appeal is DISMISSED. The pending "Appellant's Application For Relief is also DISMISSED.
