IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

WESTERN DIVISION 

LUKE SKRABLE 

v. No. 4:15-cv-497-DPM 

PLAINTIFF 

MARK STODOLA, Little Rock Mayor, and 

BRUCE T. MOORE, Little Rock City Manager, 

Both Individually and in Their Official Capacities DEFENDANTS 

ORDER 

1. The Court screened Skrable' s complaint, concluding that he stated 

plausible claims against Mayor Stodola, but not against City Manager Moore 

or City Attorney Carpenter. NQ 3. The day after the Court ruled, Skrable filed 

an amended complaint alleging more facts against Moore. NQ 4. The Court 

must now screen Skrable' s new pleading. 28 U.S. C. § 1915( e) (2). Skrable says 

that Moore banned him from all city-owned buildings and barred him from 

personal contact with city employees. NQ 4. This allegation states plausible 

Fourteenth Amendment and First Amendment claims against Moore. The 

merits of those claims remain to be seen. 

2. The Court directs the Clerk to prepare summons for Moore. The 

United States Marshal shall serve the summons, the complaint, NQ 2, the 

amended complaint, NQ 4, and this Order on Moore without prepayment of 

Case 4:15-cv-00497-BD Document 9 Filed 09/17/15 Page 1 of 2
fees and costs or security. 

3. The Court directs Skrable to familiarize himself with this Court's 

Local Rules, http:/ jwww.are.uscourts.gov /court-info/local-rules-andorders/local-rules, and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Even though pro 

se, Skrable must follow all these rules. For example, the incorporation of one 

complaint into another is not allowed and creates difficulties for all. Any 

future proposed amended complaint must be complete. FED. R. CIV. P. 8. 

So Ordered.
