U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit
John Doe v. University of Southern Indiana, et al.
No. 24-2245
Civil. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, Judge Tanya Walton Pratt. Affirms the district court’s denial of John Doe’s request to litigate under a pseudonym. The court found that Doe failed to show a substantial risk of physical harm or retaliation, noting that past threats were old and unsubstantiated by current evidence of danger. The court reiterated the strong presumption against allowing pseudonyms for adult parties and declined to expand that standard to include mental health concerns. Judge Hamilton authored the opinion. Judges Brennan and St. Eve concur.
