IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
JONESBORO DIVISION
LAKHRAJ MANOHAR
v.

PLAINTIFF
Case No. 3:16-cv-00076-KGB

BAXTER, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

On August 15, 2016, the Court granted plaintiff Lakhraj Manohar’s motion for leave to
proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt. No. 8). Mr. Manohar has brought this action against multiple
defendants: Lieutenant Baxter, who Mr. Manohar identifies as a security supervisor at St. Bernard
Hospital in Jonesboro, Arkansas; Mr. Ollo, who Mr. Manohar identifies as a security guard at St.
Bernard Hospital in Jonesboro, Arkansas; and Mr. Vandergriff, who Mr. Manohar identifies as
both a security guard at St. Bernard Hospital in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and a member of the
Jonesboro, Arkansas, police department (Dkt. No. 1). Currently pending before this Court is Mr.
Manohar’s motion for service by the Court (Dkt. No. 11). The Court grants the motion (Dkt. No.
11).
Because Mr. Manohar has been granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis, the Clerk of
Court is directed to prepare a summons using the information provided by Mr. Manohar regarding
the defendants’ last names and places of employment in his complaint, and the U.S. Marshal for
the Eastern District of Arkansas is directed to serve defendants. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(3).

The

Marshal is directed to serve the summons and complaint pursuant to Rule 4 of the Federal Rules
of Civil Procedure. The Court denies as moot Mr. Manohar’s motion to expedite (Dkt. No. 15).

So ordered this 25th day of August, 2017.
