Opinion
CASE NO. 5:10CV00134 WRW-BD.
June 7, 2010
ORDER
The Court has screened Plaintiff's Complaint (docket entry #2) and Amended Complaint (#6), and it appears that Plaintiff has stated a claim for an Eighth Amendment violation against Defendants Mark Gober and Susan Potts. Plaintiff claims that these Defendants were personally aware of his physical suffering and had the authority to order that Plaintiff receive the necessary medical care to treat the infection in his arm; yet they failed to act. Plaintiff alleges that, as a result of Defendants' deliberate indifference to his medical needs, he was required to have emergency surgery. Accordingly, service is proper for Defendants Gober and Potts.
The Clerk of Court shall prepare a summons for Defendants Gober and Potts, and the United States Marshal is directed to serve copies of the Complaint and the Amended Complaint with any attachments (docket entries #2 and #6), and a summons for Defendants Gober and Potts through the Drew County Sheriff's Department, 210 South Main Street, Monticello, Arkansas 71655, without prepayment of fees and costs or security therefor.
IT IS SO ORDERED
