OPINION OF THE COURT

2Per curiam

This appeal arose out of a Territorial Court Order dismissing Sylvester H. Julien's ["appellant"] action to enjoin, and declare void, any nomination or confirmation of members to the Casino Control Commission ["Commission"] which was not in compliance with V.I. CODE ANN. tit. 3, § 65(b). The issue on appeal is whether the trial court erred in dismissing appellant's complaint due to lack of standing. For the reasons which follow, the December 12, 1995 ruling of the Territorial Court is affirmed.
