ORDER
Lawrence Martin, an Arkansas Department of Correction (“ADC”) inmate, filed
this lawsuit pro se and is currently proceeding in forma pauperis. (Docket entries #2, #7)
The Court has now screened his claims as required by statute. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. For
screening purposes, Mr. Martin has stated constitutional claims against Defendants Lay,
Wood, Jones, Brown, Warner, Plucket, White-Matthews, Swygart, May, Bland, and
Selbey. Accordingly, service is proper for those Defendants. Service is not proper for
Defendants Corizon or Mike Beebe.1 The Court will address Mr. Martin’s claims against
Defendants Corizon and Beebe in a separate Recommendation.
The Clerk of Court shall prepare Summonses for Defendants Lay, Wood, Jones,
Brown, Warner, Plucket, White-Matthews, Swygart, May, Bland, and Selbey. The United
States Marshal shall serve copies of the Complaint, with any attachments (docket entry
#2), and Summons for these Defendants without prepayment of fees and costs or security.
