NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS JUL 12 2023 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT MARK F. DURBIN, No. 22-35872 Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 2:22-cv-00200-JHC v. MEMORANDUM* STATE OF WASHINGTON, as Respondeats Superior for, with, together, and employing; et al., Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington John H. Chun, District Judge, Presiding Submitted June 26, 2023** Before: CANBY, S.R. THOMAS, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges.

Mark F. Durbin appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging various claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a dismissal for failure to

See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). 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 Durbin’s claims against defendants State of Washington, King County, Keena Javier, Kellon Pitts, Amanda Zerger, and Zachery Boyd, because Durbin failed to effect proper service of the summons and complaint and did not demonstrate good cause for failing to serve properly, despite being given notice and an opportunity to do so. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) (outlining requirements for proper service and explaining that 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 (discussing Rule 4(m)’s “good cause” standard).

AFFIRMED.
