ORDER
The Court directs the Clerk to correct the docket. NQ 52 is an amended
complaint, not a motion to amend. The Court must screen Green's amended
complaint. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Pursuant to Green's request, Gober and Potts
are dismissed without prejudice. Green adds an FTCA claim against the
United States of America, alleging that a claims representative of the Social
Security Administration negligently failed to input, verify, or update key
information and negligently allowed the State of Arkansas to take away his
social security benefits. NQ 52 at 2-3. The Clerk shall update the docket sheet

to reflect that the United States of America is a defendant. The Clerk shall
prepare summons for the United States, and the United States Marshal shall
serve the summons, the complaint, the amended complaint, and this Order
on the United States, by serving the United States Attorney for the Eastern
District of Arkansas, and the United States Attorney General, without
prepayment of fees and costs or security therefor.
