- ilcd;;3:16-cv-03119_de7 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Chief Judge James E. Shadid on 6/13/2016: Plaintiff has filed a motion asking the Court to consolidate his case with a lawsuit filed by another inmate alleging similar claims as a class action. 5 Plaintiff has not filed a proper motion for class certification, nor has he identified a class. Even if he had, Plaintiff may not proceed pro se on behalf of a class. Because absent class members are bound by a judgment whether for or against the class, they are entitled to the assurance of competent representation afforded by licensed counsel. See Oxendine v. Williams, 509 F.2d 1405, 1407 (4th Cir. 1975) (holding that it would be plain error to permit imprisoned pro se litigant to represent his fellow inmates in a class action); see also Huddleston v. Duckworth, 97 F.R.D. 512, 514-15 (N.D. Ind. 1983) (prisoners proceeding pro se not allowed to act as class representatives). Finally, the other lawsuit mentioned has been pending for two years and is filed in another district court. The motion is denied. 5 Plaintiff's motion for a status update is also denied. 6 Plaintiff will receive a copy of any merit review order entered by the Court.
