United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 14-1371 ___________________________ In re: John O. Murrin, III lllllllllllllllllllllRespondent - Appellant ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis ____________ Submitted: July 17, 2014 Filed: July 22, 2014 [Unpublished] ____________ Before WOLLMAN, GRUENDER, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. Attorney John Murrin appeals the district court s1 order effectively reinstating an earlier court order suspending him from practicing law in the District of Minnesota. Upon careful review, we conclude that Murrin s constitutional arguments are without merit, and we find no abuse of discretion. See In re Hoare, 155 F.3d 937, 940 (8th Cir. 1998) (disciplinary orders are reviewed for abuse of discretion; district court s authority to suspend attorney is inherent power derived from attorney s role as officer of court). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 1 The Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.
