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.
1The Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota.
