M A R K GOBER and S U S A N POTTS ORDER T h e Court has screened Plaintiff's Complaint (docket entry #2) and Amended C o m p la in t (#6), and it appears that Plaintiff has stated a claim for an Eighth Amendment v io la tio n against Defendants Mark Gober and Susan Potts.

Accordingly, service is p ro p e r for Defendants Gober and Potts.
