No. 6:19-cv-00149-MK v. MEMORANDUM* MARK T. ESPER, Secretary, Department of the Army; UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY; U.S. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION, Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Oregon Michael J. McShane, District Judge, Presiding Submitted July 12, 2022** Before: SCHROEDER, R. NELSON, and VANDYKE, Circuit Judges.

Hamid Michael Hejazi appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his employment action alleging discrimination. We have jurisdiction

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a dismissal for failure to serve the summons and complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m). Oyama v. Sheehan (In re Sheehan), 253 F.3d 507, 511 (9th Cir. 2001). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Hejazi’s action because Hejazi failed to effect proper service of the summons and complaint after being given notice and opportunities and directives to do so and failed to show good cause for his failure to serve. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) (outlining the requirements for proper service and explaining that a district court may dismiss for failure to serve after providing notice and absent a showing of good cause for failure to serve); In re Sheehan, 253 F.3d at 512-13 (discussing good cause and the district court’s broad discretion to dismiss an action).

AFFIRMED.
