IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS PINE BLUFF DIVISION JACOB THOMAS EARLS, ADC #114556 v. JOE HUGHES, et al.
ORDER By Order dated October 18, 2010 (Doc. No. 3), 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 him to submit an Amended Complaint within 30 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 (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 Joe Hughes, Dr. De-Saint Felix, Dorothy Langel, Deborah Louise York, Dr. Barnes, Connie Hubbard, and Correctional Medical Services, Inc. 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 Defendants in care of Humphries and Lewis Law Firm, P.O. Box 20670, White
