Civil Procedure — judicial bias

James Diggs, pro se, appeals an order granting a name change for his child under the age of fourteen. Diggs argues the circuit court was biased, Diggs was entitled to the same procedural safeguards as in a termination of parental rights case, and the court erroneously determined Diggs’ consent was not required for the name change. We reject Diggs’ arguments and affirm. This opinion will not be published.

Dist III, Outagamie County, Gage, J., Per Curiam

Attorneys: For Appellant: Diggs, James, pro se; For Respondent: Brown, David D., Green Bay
