IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS JONESBORO DIVISION WILLIE WELLS v. PLAINTIFF 3:12CV00228-BSM-JTK RONNIE COLEMAN, et al. DEFENDANTS ORDER By Order dated January 8, 2012 (Doc. No. 19), this Court granted Plaintiff’s Motion 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 him to submit an Amended Complaint within thirty days. The Court also cautioned Plaintiff that an Amended Complaint would render the Original Complaint without legal effect, and would take the place of his Original Complaint. Plaintiff has now submitted an Amended Complaint (Doc. No. 31). Having reviewed the Amended Complaint, it now appears to the Court that service is appropriate for Defendants Ronnie Coleman and Mike Allen. Accordingly, IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that service is appropriate for the Defendants Ronnie Coleman and Mike Allen. 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 Amended Complaint (Doc. No. 31) and summons on Defendants Coleman and Allen without prepayment of fees and costs or security therefore. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk shall change the style of this case to Wells v. Coleman, et al. 1 IT IS SO ORDERED this 20th day of February, 2013. __________________________________ JEROME T. KEARNEY UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 2
