The Court has reviewed the Proposed Findings and Partial Recommended Disposition

Magistrate Judge for appropriate action.

2. Plaintiff’s motion to amend (docket entry #20) is granted, and the Clerk is directed

to add the name of Steven Melton as a Defendant.

3. Service is appropriate for Defendant Steven Melton, and the United States Marshal

is directed to serve a copy of the complaint (docket entry #1), amended complaint (docket entry #20),

this order, and summons, upon Defendant Steven Melton, the United States Attorney General, and

the United States Attorney for this district, without prepayment of fees and costs or security therefor.
