C/A No. 0:16-1428-TMC-PJG

ORDER

This is a closed civil case originally filed by a state prisoner. Under Local Civil Rule
73.02(B)(2) (D.S.C.), pretrial proceedings in this action were referred to the assigned United States
Magistrate Judge.
On May 4, 2016 the assigned District Judge issued an order directing the Clerk of Court to
separate the previously-named pro se plaintiffs in this action and assign new case numbers for each.
(ECF No. 1.) By order dated May 18, 2016, the undersigned provided Plaintiff with an opportunity
to bring this case into proper form, (ECF No. 9), but Plaintiff failed to comply with the order and the

case was summarily dismissed by the assigned District Judge for failure to comply with an order of
the court. (ECF No. 44.) Therefore, the case was closed by the Clerk of Court.
Plaintiff has now filed several documents in this court with the case number “C/A No. 0:161428-TMC-PJG,” including a motion for recusal. (ECF Nos. 50-52.) Moreover, the filings appear
to relate to a different case Plaintiff has currently pending. As the above-captioned case is closed
and Plaintiff has filed another case in this court that is currently pending, see C/A No. 4:16-2939MBS-TER, the Clerk of Court is directed to docket any future filings by Plaintiff bearing the case
number C/A No. 0:16-1428-TMC-PJG in his pending case, see C/A No. 4:16-2939-MBS-TER.
The Clerk of Court is further directed to terminate Plaintiff’s pending motion in this case as
moot. (ECF No. 51.)
IT IS SO ORDERED.
