Rule 4(m) states: “If a defendant is not served within 120 days after the complaint is filed, the
court – on motion or on its own after notice to the plaintiff – must dismiss the action without prejudice
against that defendant or order that service be made within a specified time. But if the plaintiff shows
good cause for the failure, the court must extend the time for service for an appropriate period.”
