a civil action filed by a federal prisoner[1] against private
individuals not associated with any government entities.
Therefore, in the event that a limitations issue arises,
Plaintiff shall have the benefit of the holding in
Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266 (1988) (prisoner's
pleading was filed at the moment of delivery to prison
authorities for forwarding to District Court). 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

has submitted an Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of
Fees and Affidavit (Form AO 240), which is 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 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). (ECF No. 2).
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) and (b). As
the court has granted 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.

screening conducted pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1915 and/or
28 U.S.C. § 1915A. 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.
Clerk of Court shall not enter any change of address
