_______________________________________________ )
This is a civil rights action filed by a pro se litigant. Under Local Civil Rule 73.02(B)(2) of
the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, pretrial proceedings in this action
have been referred to the assigned United States Magistrate Judge.
PAYMENT OF THE FILING FEE:
Plaintiff has been granted in forma pauperis status by Order dated July 18, 2018. (ECF No.
12). By filing this case, Plaintiff has incurred a debt to the United States of America in the amount
of $350.* See 28 U.S.C. § 1914. This debt is not dischargeable in the event Plaintiff seeks relief
under the bankruptcy provisions of the United States Code. See 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(17). The Prison
Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) of 1996 permits a prisoner to file a civil action without prepayment
of fees or security, but requires the prisoner “to pay the full amount of the filing fee” as funds are
available. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a), (b). Because the court hereafter grants Plaintiff permission to
proceed in forma pauperis, the agency having custody of Plaintiff shall collect payments from
Plaintiff’s prisoner trust account in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1) and (2), until the
full $350 filing fee is paid.
TO THE CLERK OF COURT:
The clerk is directed to docket the parties as captioned above, due to Plaintiff’s answer to the
court’s special interrogatories. (ECF No. 16). This case is subject to dismissal. Therefore, the Clerk
of Court shall not issue any summonses nor shall the Clerk of Court forward this matter to the
United States Marshal for service of process at this time.
*
Effective May 1, 2013, an administrative fee of $50 is added to the filing fee of $350.
The $50 administrative fee, however, is not applicable to in forma pauperis cases.
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.
TO PLAINTIFF:
Plaintiff must place the civil action number listed above on any document provided to the
court pursuant to this Order. Any future filings in this case must be sent to ((Post Office Box
2317, Florence, South Carolina 29503) the address below. 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 (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 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.
