IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS JONESBORO DIVISION NATHANIEL FITZGERALD v. RICHARD DICK BUSBY, et al. ORDER By Order dated September 29, 2009 (DE #9), 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. Plaintiff has now submitted several amendments to his complaint (DE ##8, 11, 12). Having reviewed the original and amended complaints, and construing them together, it now appears to the Court that service is appropriate for some of the defendants. Accordingly, IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that service is appropriate for the defendants Teresa Bonner, David Boyken, John Dexter, Supervisor Beasley, Dr. Schroder, and "Nurse Mandy". The Clerk of the Court shall prepare summons for the defendants and the United States Marshal is hereby directed to serve a copy of the original (DE #2) and amended complaints (DE ##8, 11, 12) and summons on defendants 3:09CV00154JLH/HLJ DEFENDANTS PLAINTIFF

without prepayment of fees and costs or security therefore.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 27th day of October, 2009.
