United States Seventh Circuit

In plaintiff's suit against a university and number of its employees, claiming that defendants' reporting of a settlement of a medical malpractice claim against him to state and national professional authorities violated his constitutional rights, district court's denial of plaintiff's motion to reconsider its judgment of dismissal of the case is affirmed as plaintiff's own complaint shows that the defendants merely complied with legal requirements for filing notices of medical malpractice settlements with federal and state authorities, and by filing those notices, defendants did not violate plaintiff's free speech rights or his rights to equal protection of the law and due process of law.
