PER CURIAM:
Donald Parker appeals the district court’s order dismissing his complaint without
prejudice under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) for failure to effect service. We have reviewed the
record and discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s decision. See Attkisson v.
Holder, 925 F.3d 606, 627 (4th Cir. 2019) (providing standard of review). Accordingly,
we affirm the district court’s judgment. Parker v. Atkins, No. 3:23-cv-00043-HEH-MRC
(E.D. Va. July 26, 2024). 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
