IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
 

JONESBORO DIVISION
 

MICHAEL SCOTT PLAINTIFF 

v. 3: 1OCV00007HLJ 

DICK BUSBY et al. DEFENDANTS 

ORDER 

By Order dated January 20, 2010 (DE #3), this Court granted plaintiffs application to proceed 

in forma pauperis in this action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.c. § 1983. However, finding plaintiffs 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 plaintiffto submit an amended complaint within thirty days. 

Plaintiffhas now submitted an amended complaint, in which he adds Regina Long as a defendant (DE #5). 

Having reviewed the original and amended complaints, and construing them together, it now appears to 

the Court that service is appropriate. Accordingly, 

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that service is appropriate for the defendants Busby, Boyd, 

Bonner and Regina Long. The Clerk of the Court shall prepare summons for the defendants and the 

United States Marshal is hereby directed to serve a copy ofthe original (DE #2) and amended complaints 

(DE #5) and summons on defendants without prepayment of fees and costs or security therefore. 

IT IS SO ORDERED this 19th day of February, 2010.
