John DOE Plaintiff-Appellant v. UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS; University of Arkansas Board of Trustees; Donald R. Bobbitt; University of Arkansas Medical Sciences Defendants-Appellees
[Unpublished]
John Doe appeals the district court’s 1 pre-service denial of his motion to file suit under a pseudonym, and dismissal of his complaint alleging discrimination based on his bipolar disorder diagnosis. Having reviewed the record and Doe’s arguments on appeal, we find no abuse of discretion. See Doe v. Vill. of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 376 (7th Cir. 2016) (standard of review); Doe v. Porter, 370 F.3d 558, 560 (6th Cir. 2004) (standard of review).
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
