PER CURIAM:
Frank E. Reid appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice his pro
se civil complaint under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) for failure to effectuate service of process.
After reviewing the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion
in dismissing the complaint. See Brooks v. Johnson, 924 F.3d 104, 120 (4th Cir. 2019)
(reviewing dismissal under Rule 4(m) for abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we affirm the
district court’s order. Reid v. Corizon Health Servs., No. 7:22-cv-00346-MFU-JCH
(W.D. Va. Mar. 5, 2024). We also deny Reid’s motion for oral argument. We dispense
with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
