Champion v. Clark et al

Doc. 24

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS HELENA DIVISION JERRY CHAMPION ADC #91354 V. RICHARD CLARK et al. ORDE R Plaintiff filed this complaint (docket entry #2) on May 17, 2010, and service was ordered. On July 7, 2010, the summons was returned unexecuted as to Defendants Manning Jones, Sharon Jones, and Richard Clark1 (docket entries #21-#23). Service for Manning Jones and Sharon Jones had been attempted in the care of the Arkansas Department of Correction ("ADC"), but was returned because they are not employed at the ADC. However, a note accompanying the return indicates that they may be employed by the prison medical contractor. A note accompanying Clark's return indicates that he is no longer employed by the medical contractor, but counsel for the contractor provided his last known address, which is filed under seal. Accordingly, service for Manning Jones and Sharon Jones will be attempted in the care of counsel for the prison's medical contractor, and service for Clark will be attempted at his last known address. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT: 1. The Clerk is directed to change the style of the case to reflect the correct name of NO: 2:10CV00070 DPM/HDY DEFENDANTS PLAINTIFF

Defendant Richard Clark.

Plaintiff identified Clark as Richer, rather than Richard, but documentation accompanying the returned summons indicates that Clark's actual name is Richard. 1
