IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION
JESSE LEE GARRETT,
ADC #656385
v.

PLAINTIFF
4:12-cv-00230-JLH-JTK

SGT. ANDREWS, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

By Order dated April 26, 2012 (Doc. No. 3), this Court granted Plaintiff’s Motion 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 him to submit an Amended
Complaint within thirty days. The Court also cautioned Plaintiff that an Amended Complaint would
render the Original Complaint without legal effect, and would take the place of his Original
Complaint. Plaintiff has now submitted an Amended Complaint, adding five Defendants (Doc. No.
6).

Having reviewed the Amended Complaint, it now appears to the Court that service is

appropriate for Defendants. Accordingly,
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that service is appropriate for the Defendants Andrews,
Bryant, Spaul, Thomas, Hardy, Hinton, Flowers, Boone, and Noel. The Clerk of the Court shall
prepare summons for the Defendants and the United States Marshal is hereby directed to serve a
copy of the Amended Complaint (Doc. No. 6) and summons on these Defendants in care of the
Faulkner County Detention Center, 500 South German Lane, Conway, AR 72034-7014.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 7th day of May, 2012.
