APPEAL FROM THE MARION SUPERIOR COURT The Honorable Patrick L. McCarty, Judge Cause No. 49D03-0403-PL-507

July 19, 2005 OPINION - FOR PUBLICATION FRIEDLANDER, Judge

Thomas Steinke appeals the trial court's determination that he lacks standing to seek an order of mandate. Steinke presents two issues, which we consolidate and restate as follows: Does an attorney who practices before the Worker's Compensation Board of Indiana (the Board) have standing to seek an order of mandate directing members of the Board to adhere to certain statutory guidelines? We affirm. The undisputed facts are that Steinke is an Indiana attorney whose practice includes representing employees before the Board. On March 4, 2004, Steinke filed a Verified Complaint for Writs of Mandate 1 (the Complaint), alleging that members of the Board (the Board Members) violated The Worker's Compensation Act, i.e., Ind. Code Ann.
