This is a civil action filed by a pro se litigant proceeding in forma pauperis. Under
Local Civil Rule 73.02(B)(2) of the United States District Court for the District of South
Carolina, pretrial proceedings in this action have been referred to the assigned United
States Magistrate Judge. By Order dated June 21, 2011, Plaintiff was given a specific time
frame in which to bring this case into proper form. Plaintiff has complied with the Court’s
Order, and this case is now in proper form.
TO THE CLERK OF COURT:
The Clerk of Court is directed to list the parties on the docket as they are listed in
the caption of this Order. The Clerk is directed to add “Thomas Davis” to the list of
Defendants on the docket because he is named as an additional defendant in Amended
Complaint.
The Clerk of Court is directed not to issue any summonses nor shall the Clerk
forward this matter to the United States Marshal for service of process at this time because
this case is subject to summary dismissal.
TO PLAINTIFF:
Plaintiff must place the civil action number listed above 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 Plaintiff’s signature shall be signed with Plaintiff’s
full legal name written in 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, 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. 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.
Plaintiff is a pro se litigant. 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.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
