ORDER
Federal courts must screen prisoner complaints seeking relief against a government
entity, officer, or employee and dismiss any portion of a complaint that raises claims that:
(a) are legally frivolous or malicious; (b) fail to state a claim upon which relief may be
granted; or (c) seek monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief. 28
U.S.C. § 1915A.
The Court has screened Mr. Alexander/Ryahim’s complaint. He has stated a
retaliation claim against Defendants Hobbs, Straughn, Campbell, Brownlee, Manus,
Woods, and King. Accordingly, service is now proper for those Defendants.
The Clerk of Court is directed to prepare a summons for Defendants Hobbs,
Straughn, Campbell, Brownlee, Manus, Woods, and King; the United States Marshal is
directed to serve copies of the Complaint with any attachments (docket entry #1), and a
summons for each Defendant through the Compliance Division of the Arkansas
Department of Correction, P.O. Box 20550, Pine Bluff, Arkansas 71612 , without
prepayment of fees and costs or posting security.

DATED this 6th day of July, 2011.
