        PER CURIAM:

               John Smith appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to proceed under a

        pseudonym. * We have reviewed the record and conclude the district court did not abuse

        its discretion in denying Smith’s motion. Accordingly, we affirm. Smith v. Towson Univ.,

        No. 1:22-cv-02998-JRR (D. Md. Nov. 30, 2022). We dispense with oral argument because

        the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court

        and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                                       AFFIRMED

               *
                The district court’s order is an appealable collateral order. See James v. Jacobson,
        6 F.3d 233, 235-38 (4th Cir. 1993); Under Seal v. Under Seal, 326 F.3d 479, 483 (4th Cir.
        2003).
