Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville [Unpublished] Before WOLLMAN, LOKEN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.
John Doe appeals the district court's 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.

Porter, 370 F.3d 558, 560 (6th Cir. 2004) (standard of review).
The Honorable P.K. Holmes, III, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas. --------
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
