IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA Sammy L. Anderson, Plaintiff, vs. Deputy Gene Brock; Officer Kenneth L Washington; Atty David Plowden; Atty Scott D. Robinson; Atty Beattie B. Ashmore; US Assistant Prosecutor Isaac Johnson Jr.; Judge Wlm Catoe; Judge G. Ross Anderson Jr.; Probation Officer Melissa G. Anderson, Defendants. __________________________________________ ) C/A No. 0:10-1690-CMC-PJG ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ORDER ) ) ) This is a civil action filed by a pro se Plaintiff. Under Local Civil Rule 73.02(B)(2) DSC, pretrial proceedings in this action have been referred to the assigned United States Magistrate Judge. PAYMENT OF THE FILING FEE: The Plaintiff has submitted an Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and Affidavit (Form AO 240), which is construed as a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915. A review of the motion reveals that the Plaintiff should be relieved of the obligation to prepay the full filing fee. The Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis is granted, subject to the Court's right to require a payment if the Plaintiff's financial condition changes, and to tax fees and costs against the Plaintiff at the conclusion of this case if the Court finds the case to be without merit. See Flint v. Haynes, 651 F.2d 970, 972-74 (4th Cir. 1981). TO THE CLERK OF COURT: The Office of the Clerk of Court is directed not to issue the summonses or forward this matter to the United States Marshal for service of process at this time. Page 1 of 3 TO THE PLAINTIFF: The Plaintiff must place the civil action number listed above (C/A No. 0:10-1690CMC-PJG) on any document provided to the Court pursuant to this Order. Any future filings in this case must be sent to the address below. All documents requiring the Plaintiff's signature shall be signed with the Plaintiff's full legal name written in the Plaintiff's own handwriting. Pro se litigants shall not use the "s/typed name" format used in the Electronic Case Filing System. In all future filings with this Court, the Plaintiff is directed to use letter-sized (8½ inches by 11 inches) paper only, to write or type text on one side of a sheet of paper only and not to write or type on both sides of any sheet of paper. The Plaintiff is further instructed not to write to the edge of the paper, but to maintain one inch margins on the top, bottom and sides of each paper submitted. The Plaintiff is a pro se litigant. The Plaintiff's attention is directed to the following important notice: You are ordered to always keep the Clerk of Court advised in writing (901 Richland Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201) if your address changes for any reason, so as to assure that orders or other matters that specify deadlines for you to meet will be received by you. If as a result of your failure to comply with this Order, you fail to meet a deadline set by this Court, your case may be dismissed for violating this Order. Therefore, if you have a change of address before this case is ended, you must comply with this Order by immediately advising the Clerk of Court in writing of such change of address and providing the Court with the docket number of all pending cases you have filed with this Court. Your failure to do so will not be excused by the Court. Put this Order with your own record of this case so that you will not overlook your duty. IT IS SO ORDERED. _________________________________ Paige J.

Page 2 of 3 IMPOR TANT INFORMATION ....PLEASE READ CAREFULLY WARNING TO PRO SE PARTY OR NONPARTY FILERS All Documents That You File with the Court Will Be Available to the Public on the Internet Through Pacer (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) and the Court's Electronic Case Filing System. CERTAIN PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN OR SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM ALL DOCUMENTS BEFORE YOU SUBMIT THE DOCUMENTS TO THE COURT FOR FILING. Rule 5.2 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides for privacy protection of electronic or paper filings made with the court. Rule 5.2 applies to ALL documents submitted for filing, including pleadings, exhibits to pleadings, discovery responses, and any other document submitted by any party or nonparty for filing. Unless otherwise ordered by the court, a party or nonparty filer should not put certain types of an individual's personal identifying information in documents submitted for filing to any United States District Court. If it is necessary to file a document that already contains personal identifying information, the personal identifying information should be "blacked out" or redacted prior to submitting the document to the Office of the Clerk of Court for filing. A person filing any document containing their own personal identifying information waives the protection of Rule 5.2(a) by filing the information without redaction and not under seal. 1. Personal information protected by Rule 5.2(a): (a) Social Security and Taxpayer identification numbers. If an individual's social security number or a taxpayer identification number must be included in a document, the filer may include only the last four digits of that number. (b) Names of Minor Children. If the involvement of a minor child must be mentioned, the filer may include only the initials of that child. (c) Dates of Birth. If an individual's date of birth must be included in a document, the filer may include only the year of birth. (d) Financial Account Numbers. If financial account numbers are relevant, the filer may include only the last four digits of these numbers. 2. Protection of other sensitive personal information ­ such as driver's license numbers and alien registration numbers ­ may be sought under Rule 5.2(d)(Filings Made Under Seal) and (e) (Protective Orders).
