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 undersigned United States Magistrate
Judge. In an order (ECF No. 5) filed in this case on March 18, 2106, the undersigned directed
Plaintiff to bring this case into "proper form" by completing a complaint form; submitting a
summons, Forms USM-285 (if he was proceeding in forma pauperis), and Rule 26.01
Interrogatories; and either paying the file fee or submitting Form AO 240 (Motion to Proceed in
forma pauperis). 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 being 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. Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 7)
1
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 above-captioned case is subject to summary dismissal. Hence, the Office of the Clerk
of Court is directed not to authorize the issuance and service of process in the above-captioned case,
unless instructed by a United States District Judge to do so.
The Office of the Clerk of Court shall not enter any change of address submitted by Plaintiff
which directs that mail be sent to a person other than Plaintiff unless that person is an attorney
admitted to practice before this Court who has entered a formal appearance.
The Office of the Clerk of Court is directed to edit the docket so that it reflects the above
caption.
TO PLAINTIFF:
Any future filings by Plaintiff in this case should be sent to the address listed below.
Plaintiff must place the civil action number listed above on any document Plaintiff submits to this
Court in connection with the above-captioned case. All pleadings filed in this case by Plaintiff shall
be signed by Plaintiff with Plaintiff’s full legal name written in Plaintiff’s own handwriting. Pro se
litigants, such as Plaintiff, shall not use the “s/typed name” format used in the Electronic Case Filing
System. In any future filings in this case, Plaintiff is directed to use letter-size (8½ inches by 11
inches) paper, 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 (Post Office
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 file something you are required to file within a deadline set by a District Judge or
a Magistrate Judge, 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 Clerk of Court with the docket numbers 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).
