ORDER

After a careful, de novo review of the file, the Court concurs with the Magistrate

Judge's Report and Recommendation, to which objections have been filed. (Doc. no. 19.)
Nothing in Plaintiffs objections undermines the Magistrate Judge's recommendation, and
only one objection warrants further comment.

First, Plaintiff repeatedly contends he does not have three strikes under the PLRA and
therefore dismissal is improper.

(See id. at 1-2.)

However, the Magistrate Judge

recommended dismissal based on Plaintiffs failure to disclose his prior filing history, not
because Plaintiff had three strikes. (See doc. no. 17, p. 3.) Moreover, as the case law cited in
the Report and Recommendation makes clear, failing to disclose prior filing history will not
be tolerated, and the Eleventh Circuit has repeatedly approved of dismissing a case without
prejudice as a sanction. (See id.) Therefore, Plaintiffs contention is meritless.
