ORDER

Presently before the Court is the Motion to Terminate Counsel (Docket Entry # 26) filed by
Plaintiff pro se. Counsel for Plaintiff consents to the Motion. See Response (Docket Entry # 28).
Accordingly, the Motion to Terminate Counsel (Docket Entry # 26) is GRANTED. Plaintiff
indicates that he will be handling the case himself from this point forward. As such, he is solely
responsible for the prosecution of his claims, which includes abiding by the rules of this court,
including the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the Local Civil
Rules for the District of South Carolina, as well as all scheduling order deadlines.
Plaintiff provided his address in his Motion. The Clerk of Court is directed to enter this
address in the record and to serve a copy of this Order on Plaintiff at said address. Plaintiff is
advised that, if he chooses to proceed pro se, he must always keep the Clerk of Court advised in
writing (Post Office Box 2317, Florence, South Carolina 29503) if his address changes for any
reason, so as to assure that he will receive orders or other matters that specify deadlines to be met.
Plaintiff also files a Motion for Extension of Time (Docket Entry # 32) to file a Response to
Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (Docket Entry # 17). Although counsel for Plaintiff
filed a Response (Docket Entry # 27), Plaintiff’s Motion is GRANTED and he shall have until
1

March 24, 2014, to file any additional Response he wishes to file.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
