ORDER

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.
