Aurlieas McClarty, a pro se prisoner, sued eight defendants. The magistrate judge recommends dismissal based on McClarty's failure to accurately disclose his litigation history. ECF No. 4. McClarty filed no objection to the magistrate judge's report and recommendation.

Johnson, 143 F. 4th 1301, 1308 (11th Cir. 2025) ("Dismissal without prejudice was an appropriate exercise of the district court's inherent authority to manage its docket and enforce the local rules. [Plaintiff] violated the local rules by failing to disclose his full litigation history, as required by the duly adopted standard complaint form.").
