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
