Before WOLLMAN, LOKEN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
       John Doe appeals the district court’s1 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.
                      ______________________________

      1
      The Honorable P.K. Holmes, III, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Western District of Arkansas.
