and the United States Marshal is hereby directed to serve a copy of the amended complaint (Doc.

therefor. Service should be attempted in care of the Craighead County Sheriff, 901 Willett Road,

The Clerk of Court is directed to change the style of the case to remove Craighead County

(Doc. No. 5).

The Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) requires federal courts to screen prisoner complaints
seeking relief against a governmental entity, officer, or employee. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). Claims that are
legally frivolous or malicious; that fail to state a claim for relief; or that seek money from a defendant
who is immune from paying damages should be dismissed before the defendants are served. 28 U.S.C. §
1915A, 1915(e)(2).
If any of these defendants are no longer County employees, the individual responding to service
must file a SEALED Statement providing the unserved defendant’s last known private mailing address.
