following important notice:
You are ordered to always keep the Clerk of Court advised in

Columbia, South Carolina 29201) 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

the court.

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

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.
