C/A No. 4:13-1856-JMC-KDW
ORDER
This civil rights action is filed by a pro se litigant. Under Local Civil Rule 73.02(B)(2)
D.S.C., pretrial proceedings in this action are referred to the assigned United States Magistrate
Judge.
PAYMENT OF THE FILING FEE:
Plaintiff submits an Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and Affidavit (Form
AO 240), which is the form used to file 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 (C/A No. 4:13-1856-JMC-KDW) listed above
on any document provided to the court pursuant to this order. Any future filings in this case must
be sent to: P.O. Box 2317, Florence, South Carolina 29503. 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 (P.O. Box
2317, Florence, South Carolina 29503) 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).
