Description
The district court dismissed this case without prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(j), now renumbered as Rule 4(m), because the plaintiff failed to serve any defendant within 120 days after the complaint was filed. Plaintiff contends that he had requested an extension of time within which to effect service prior to the expiration of the 120-day period and that the court granted the request. He argues that dismissal, by a different district court Judge, was an error as a matter of law. We disagree and accordingly affirm.
