ORDER
This is a civil action filed by a pro se litigant. Under Local Civil Rule
73.02(B)(2)(e) (D.S.C.), pretrial proceedings in this action have been referred to the
assigned United States Magistrate Judge.
By order issued on November 1, 2013, the court allowed Plaintiff a specific time
frame in which to bring this case into proper form. [Entry #9]. Plaintiff has complied
with the court’s order.
PAYMENT OF THE FILING FEE:
Plaintiff has submitted an Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and
Affidavit (Form AO 240), which is 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. [Entry #5-2]. 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). [Entry #5].
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.: 3:13-2927CMC-SVH) 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 (eight and one-half
inches by eleven 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.
