TILMAN E. SELF, III, JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Presently pending before the Court is Plaintiff's Motion for Joinder [Doc. 67]. The United States Magistrate Judge construes Plaintiff's motion as one for class certification and recommends denying it because a pro se prisoner-plaintiff may not bring a class action lawsuit on behalf of other prisoners. [Doc. 94, pp. 2-3]; see also Smith v. Hill, No. 5:16-cv-00333-MTT-CHW, 2016 WL 4414788 (M.D. Ga. Aug. 18, 2016). The parties filed no timely objections to the Magistrate Judge's recommendation.

Having thoroughly reviewed the matter, the Court ADOPTS the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation [Doc. 94] and MAKES IT THE ORDER OF THE COURT. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Motion for Joinder [Doc. 67] is DENIED.

SO ORDERED, this 5^th day of April, 2019.
