BRIAN E. UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA

‘Rule 4(m) empowers courts with discretion to extend the time for service when a plaintiff demonstrates good cause for failing to timely serve process or any other circumstances warrant an extension of time. Henderson v. United States,

(1996); Lepone-Dempsey v. Carroll Cnty. Comm’rs,

(11th Cir. 2007); Horenkamp v. Van Winkle & Co.,

(11th Cir. 2005). Because Plaintiff never received its previous Orders, the Court exercises its discretion to extend the time for service.
