Gary D. Goudelock Jr., Assistant City Attorney, Des Moines, for appellees.

TABOR, J.

Plaintiff Ricardo Phillips appeals the district court’s dismissal of his lawsuit for failure to timely serve the defendants, two Des Moines police officers, under Iowa Rule of Civil Procedure 1.302(5).

After a careful review of the record, the parties’ briefs, the applicable law, and the district court’s sound analysis, we conclude the ruling dismissing the action should be affirmed without opinion pursuant to Iowa Rule of Appellate Procedure 6.1203 subsections (a) and (d).

AFFIRMED.
