IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION
STANLEY RAY HUNT
V.

PLAINTIFF
No. 4:13CV00740 BSM-JJV

RODRICK CONES, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Mr. Hunt filed this lawsuit pro se and is currently proceeding in forma pauperis.
(Docket entries #2, #3) The Court has now screened his claims as required by statute. 28
U.S.C. § 1915A. For screening purposes, Mr. Hunt has stated a failure-to-protect claim
against Defendants Huffman, Lasker, and Randall, in their individual capacity.
Accordingly, service is proper for those Defendants. Service is not proper for Defendant
Cones. The Court will address Mr. Hunt’s claims against Defendant Cones, as well as his
official capacity claims against Defendants Huffman, Lasker, and Randall, in a separate
Recommendation.
The Clerk of Court is directed to prepare summonses for Defendants Huffman,
Lasker, and Randall. The United States Marshal is directed to serve copies of the
Complaint, with any attachments (docket entry #2), and a summons for these Defendants
without requiring prepayment of fees and costs or security. Service for these Defendants
should be through the Faulkner County Sheriff’s Department, 801 Locust Street, Conway,
Arkansas 72032.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 25th day of February, 2014.
