Narrative:

1 aircraft called inbound about 7 mi north and was given landing instructions. The second aircraft called inbound 7 mi northeast and was given landing instructions. What transpired from those position until pattern entry is unknown. The small aircraft X reported he saw the small aircraft Y and stated 'we've got him in front of us.' the small aircraft Y turned downwind and was observed by the controller to be approximately 1/4 mi in front of the small aircraft X. Both aircraft were sequenced and subsequently both aircraft landed with proper separation. This report is being submitted because the pilot of small aircraft X is filing a near midair collision report.
