Defendant.

This matter is before the court on Plaintiff’s pro se complaint alleging discrimination
based on sex by her former employer, Defendant South Carolina Department of Health and
Environmental Control. ECF No. 1. Plaintiff also filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis.
ECF No. 3. On August 8, 2017, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation
recommending Plaintiff’s motion for in forma pauperis status be denied. ECF No. 9. After
Plaintiff filed her objections (ECF No. 12), this court adopted the Report and denied Plaintiff’s
motion (ECF No. 13). The court ordered Plaintiff to pay the full filing fee by September 7, 2017.
Id. On September 13, 2017, the court entered an order dismissing the case for failure to pay the
filing fee. ECF No. 15.
After entering the order dismissing the case, the court was notified Plaintiff had, in fact,
paid the full filing fee on September 5, 2017, at the Greenville courthouse. The receipt for this
payment had not been entered on the docket as of the date of entry of the dismissal order;
however, it has now been entered and shows the filing fee paid on September 5. ECF No. 17.
As Plaintiff timely paid the filing fee, the order dismissing the case is hereby vacated. This
matter is referred to the Magistrate Judge for pre-trial proceedings.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
