to be a nurse at the Arkansas Department of Correction East Arkansas Regional Unit.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall prepare Summons for these
Defendants, and the United States Marshall shall serve a copy of the Complaint (Doc. No.2),
Summons, and this Order on them without prepayment fees or costs or security therefore. Service
for these Defendants should be through Humphries, Odum and Eubanks Law Firm, P.O. Box 20670,
