IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS JONESBORO DIVISION JOEL KENNETH PARKER, #290281 v. 3:09CV00113JLH/HLJ DEFENDANTS ORDER By Order dated August 21, 2009 (DE #6), this Court granted plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis in this action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. However, finding plaintiff's complaint too vague and conclusory to enable the Court to determine whether it is frivolous, fails to state a claim, or states a legitimate claim, the Court directed plaintiff to submit an amended complaint within thirty days. After receiving an extension of time by the Court (DE #9), plaintiff submitted his amended complaint (DE #11). Having reviewed the original and amended complaints, and construing them together, it now PLAINTIFF
