No. CV 04-2276-PHX-SMM (LOA)

ORDER

Plaintiff Lawrence Peterson, who is confined in the Arizona State Prison ComplexSafford in Safford, Arizona, filed a pro se civil rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 regarding his confinement as a pretrial detainee at Maricopa County’s Towers Jail.

(Doc.# 1.)1

 In its last Order, the Court concluded that Defendants Maricopa County, Arpaio,

Camparano, Noble, Hayes, Durham and Easely would be required to answer Counts 1, 2, 3,

4, 8, 9 of the Third Amended Complaint and it dismissed the remaining claims and

Defendants, including Ellison. (Doc.# 14.) In the Order, however, the Court inadvertently

directed service by the U.S. Marshal on Ellison rather than Easely. For that reason, the prior

Order will be amended to correct that error and to require service on Easely. 

IT IS ORDERED:

(1) The previous Order (doc.# 14) is amended to vacate service on Ellison and to

instead require service by the U.S. Marshal upon Defendant Easely as set forth herein. 

(2) The Clerk of Court must send Plaintiff a service packet including the Third

waiver that is returned as undeliverable and waiver of service of the summons for Defendant

Easely. If a waiver of service of summons is not returned by Defendant Easely within 30
