dismiss the action without prejudice as to that defendant or direct that
service be effected within a specified time; provided that if the
plaintiff shows good cause for the failure, the court shall extend the
time for service for an appropriate period.

The 120-day period for service provided by Rule 4(m) will expire on January 25, 2013.
