C/A No. 4:15-cv-01207-BHH-KDW

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 dated March 20, 2015, Plaintiff was given a specific time frame in
which to bring this case into proper form. Plaintiff has not responded to the court’s Order, and
the time for compliance has now passed.
PAYMENT OF THE FILING FEE:
Plaintiff filed a Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. ECF No. 2. 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 any summonses or forward this matter to the
United States Marshal for service of process at this time.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
