Doe v. Loyola University Chicago

Plaintiff, John Doe, filed a lawsuit against his former university after he was expelled for alleged sexual assault, contending that the university discriminates against men. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendant and plaintiff appealed. On appeal, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals directed the parties to file supplemental briefs explaining plaintiff’s use of a pseudonym and the resulting memorandums raised facts indicating that the case might be moot. The Seventh Circuit remanded so that the district court could address both questions of mootness and anonymity. (ROVNER and ST. EVE, concurring)
