ORDER

Plaintiff is a federal inmate incarcerated at the Fort Worth Federal Medical Center. He filed
this action, pro se, against Defendant Anthony Haynes, alleging a violation of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) (Doc. No. 2.) By Order dated July 29, 2014, this Court granted Plaintiff’s
Motion to Proceed in forma pauperis in this action, and provided him the opportunity to submit an
Amended Complaint to clarify whether he also intended to file a federal civil rights action and
whether he intended to name additional individuals as Defendants (Doc. No. 3). Pursuant to
Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time, the Court on August 13, 2014, granted him an additional
sixty days to submit the Amended Complaint (Doc. No. 5). As of this date, Plaintiff has not
submitted an Amended Complaint.
Therefore, the Court will direct the issuance of summons and service of Plaintiff’s Complaint
on Defendant Haynes with respect to Plaintiff’s ADA claim.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that service is appropriate for the Defendant Anthony
Haynes. The Clerk of the Court shall prepare summons for the Defendant and the United States
Marshal shall serve a copy of the Complaint (Doc. No. 2) and summons on Defendant Haynes, the
United States Attorney for this district, and the United States Attorney General, without prepayment
of fees and costs or security therefore.
