IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
JONESBORO DIVISION
REVA MARQUE STANTON,
on behalf of JDS, a Minor
v.

PLAINTIFF

No. 3:16CV00179 JLH

NETTLETON SCHOOL DISTRICT; and
BRIAN CARTER, Principal,
Nettleton High School

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

In order to protect the privacy of JDS, a minor, Document Nos. 1 through 6 are hereby placed
under seal. The Court directs the plaintiff, Reva Marque Stanton, and all other parties in the future
not to use the name of the minor in any document filed in the Clerk’s Office. Rather, the minor will
be identified as “JDS.” The Clerk will not accept for filing any document in which the name of the
minor is disclosed.
For screening purposes only, the Court concludes that the amended complaint (Document
#6) states a claim upon which relief may be granted against the Nettleton School District and Brian
Carter. The Court has previously granted Stanton’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.
The Court therefore directs the United States Marshals Service to serve the summons, the amended
complaint, and a copy of this Order upon the Nettleton School District and Brian Carter without cost
to the plaintiff.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 26th day of August, 2016.
