IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION CAMERON BRYANT, ADC #141579 v. PAUL W. JACKSON, et al. ORDER By Order dated November 3, 2009 (DE #5), this Court granted plaintiff's application 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 plaintiff to submit an amended complaint within thirty days. Plaintiff has now submitted an amended complaint (DE #7). Having reviewed the original and amended complaints, and construing them together, it now appears to the Court that service is appropriate. Accordingly, IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that service is appropriate for the defendants Paul W. Jackson, Lorie Taylor, Gary Burton, and Kay Howell. The Clerk of the Court shall prepare summons for the 4:09CV00719HLJ DEFENDANTS PLAINTIFF
