CRAIGHEAD COUNTY
SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Mr. Osby, an Arkansas Department of Correction (“ADC”) formerly housed at the
Criaghead County Detention Center, filed this lawsuit without the help of a lawyer under
42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Docket entry #1) Because his original complaint was deficient, the
Court allowed Mr. Osby an opportunity to amend his complaint. (#13) Mr. Osby has
now complied with the Court’s order. (#17)
Based on the allegations contained in his amended complaint, Mr. Osby has stated
deliberate-indifference claims against Defendants Hall, Boyd, Todd, and Chasity, in their
individual capacities. Therefore, service is proper.
The Clerk of the Court is directed to prepare summonses for Defendants Hall,
Boyd, Todd, and Chasity, and the United States Marshal is directed to serve copies of the
complaint and the amended complaint with any attachments (#1 and #18), and a summons
for these Defendants through the Craighead County Detention Center, 901 Willett Road,
Jonesboro, Arkansas 72401, without prepayment of fees and costs or security.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 1st day of February, 2016.
