(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.

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 ELISABETH A. SHUMAKER Clerk of Court 2
