IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

RICKY BROWN,
ADC #551211

PLAINTIFF
CASE NO. 4:13CV00572 DPM/BD

ANDY SHOCK, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Mr. Brown previously was instructed to amend his complaint. (Docket entry #3)
Mr. Brown has now complied with the Court order. (#11) Based on the allegations
contained in his amended complaint, Mr. Brown has stated a First Amendment claim
against Defendants Andy Shock, John Randall, Vincent, and Douglas. Mr. Brown,
however, did not previously identify Defendants Vincent or Douglas as Defendants in this
lawsuit. Accordingly, Mr. Brown must supplement his amended complaint to include the
full names of Defendants Vincent and Douglas so that they may be properly served.
In addition, in his amended complaint, Mr. Brown does not explain how
Defendants Jackson-George, Lee, Maher, Strayer, Ferguson, Rainwater, or Brown
violated his First Amendment rights. Although Mr. Brown has moved to dismiss his
claims against Rainwater, the Court will also recommend that his claims against
Defendants Jackson-George, Lee, Maher, Strayer, Ferguson, and Brown be dismissed
unless clarified in his supplement to the amended complaint. The supplement to amended
complaint is due on or before November 14, 2013.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 31st day of October, 2013.
