ORDER

Christopher George Knox, an Arkansas Department of Correction inmate, filed
this lawsuit without the help of a lawyer. Based on the allegations in his original and
amended complaints, the Court determined that Mr. Knox had stated failure-to-protect
claims against Defendants Tipton, Howard, Okai, Garcia, and Naracon; deliberateindifference claims against Defendants Golden and Davis and the Doe Defendants; and
retaliatory discipline claims against Defendants Golden and Davis.
Mr. Knox has now identified the Doe Defendants as Brenda Bridgeman and Ms.
Canard. (Docket entry #8) Accordingly, service is now proper for those Defendants.
The Clerk of Court is directed to prepare summonses for Defendants Bridgeman
and Canard. The United States Marshal is directed to serve copies of the complaint and
the amended complaint, with any attachments (docket entries #2, #5), and summonses for
these Defendants without requiring prepayment of fees and costs or security. Service for
these Defendants should be through Humphries, Odum & Eubanks, Post Office Box
20670, White Hall, AR 71612.

The Clerk of the Court also is instructed to update the docket sheet to reflect the
correct identities of the Doe Defendants.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 2nd day of October, 2015.
