IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

RODRIGUES JONES, 

#121074 PLAINTIFF

V. CASE NO. 3:19-CV-287-LPR-BD

SUSAN COX DEFENDANT

ORDER

Rodrigues Jones, an inmate at the Poinsett County Detention Center, filed this 

civil lawsuit without the help of a lawyer under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Docket entry #2) In 

his original complaint, Mr. Jones alleged that Susan Cox failed to provide him adequate 

medical treatment while he was confined at the Detention Center. He did not state, 

however, any injury he suffered as a result. The Court allowed Mr. Jones to amend his 

complaint to add this critical information; and he has now filed his amended complaint. 

(#6) 

The allegations in the original and amended complaints adequately state a 

deliberate-indifference claim against Defendant Cox. Service is now appropriate.

The Clerk of Court is directed to prepare a summons for Defendant Cox. The 

Marshal is directed to serve a copy of the complaint and the amended complaint, with any 

attachments (#2, #6), and a summons for Defendant Cox, without requiring prepayment 

of fees and costs or security. Defendant Cox can be served at the Poinsett County 

Detention Center, 1500 Justice Drive, Harrisburg, Arkansas 72432.
