IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

NORTHERN DIVISION

JAMES DILLARD,

ADC #11682 PLAINTIFF

V. CASE NO. 3:20-CV-106-DPM-BD

BRENT COX, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Plaintiff James Dillard, an Arkansas Division of Correction inmate, filed this 

lawsuit without the help of a lawyer under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Doc. No. 2) Because Mr. 

Dillard’s original complaint was deficient, the Court directed him to file an amended 

complaint, and he has done so. (Doc. No. 6)

For screening purposes, Mr. Dillard has stated excessive-force claims against 

Defendants Harris and West, and deliberate-indifference claims against Defendants Cox, 

Hubble, West, Johnson, Glen, and Trowbridge. Accordingly, service is now appropriate. 

The Clerk of Court is directed to prepare summonses for the Defendants. The 

Marshal is directed to serve the Defendants with copies of the complaint and the amended 

complaint, with any attachments (Doc. Nos. 2, 6), and summonses, without requiring 

prepayment of fees and costs or security. Service for all Defendants should be effected 

through the Greene County Detention Center, 1809 North Rockingchair Road, 

Paragrould, Arkansas 72450.

The Court will address Mr. Dillard’s remaining claims in a separate 

Recommendation.
