MEMORANDUM*

2

George Fitzgerald appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his action against the State Bar of Arizona, Chief Bar Counsel Harriet Turney, Senior Bar Counsel Yigael Cohen, the State of Arizona, and former Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Stanley Feldman. Fitzgerald alleges that the defendants violated his constitutional rights by their conduct in connection with the State Bar's disciplinary proceedings regarding an attorney who had represented Fitzgerald's corporation in a breach of contract action. For the reasons set forth in the district court's Order filed July 9, 1997, we affirm the district court's dismissal of the action, dismissal of Fitzgerald's "2nd Amendment to Complaint," and denial of Fitzgerald's motion for recusal.
