ORDER
This is a civil action filed by a pro se litigant. Under Local Civil Rule 73.02(B)(2)
(D.S.C.), pretrial proceedings in this action have been referred to the assigned United States
Magistrate Judge
By order issued on March 23, 2012, Plaintiff was given a specific time frame in which
to bring this case into proper form. Plaintiff has substantially complied with the court’s
order, and this case is now in proper form.
PAYMENT OF THE FILING FEE:
Plaintiff has submitted an Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and
Affidavit (Form AO 240), and supplement thereto, which are construed as a Motion for
Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915. A review of the Motion reveals
that Plaintiff should be relieved of the obligation to prepay the full filing fee. Plaintiff’s
Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis is granted, subject to the court’s right to
require a payment if Plaintiff’s financial condition changes, and to tax fees and costs against
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 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.
TO PLAINTIFF:
Plaintiff must place the civil action number listed above (C/A No. 3:12-00763-CMCSVH) on any document provided to the court pursuant to this order. Any future filings in
this case must be sent to the address below (901 Richland Street, Columbia, South
Carolina 29201). 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.

IMPORTANT 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 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).
