1Opinion of the Court

BROSKY, Judge:

This is an appeal from the order denying approval of private criminal complaints. Appellant contends that: (1) he has standing to appeal the decision of the court below; and (2) the lower court erred in refusing to approve the criminal complaints after he had presented a prima facie *599case.
