Monica A. VALLADARES, Plaintiff—Appellant, v. Brian Lee TENNANT; et al., Defendants—Appellees.
    No. 05-16256.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted July 24, 2006.
    
    Decided Aug. 3, 2006.
    Monica A. Valladares, San Jose, CA, pro se.
    Before: ALARCÓN, HAWKINS, and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

Monica A. Valladares appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing without prejudice her action for failure to timely serve the summons and complaint. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for abuse of discretion, Walker v. Sumner, 14 F.3d 1415, 1422 (9th Cir.1994), and we affirm.

The district court properly dismissed the action without prejudice to refiling, because Valladares failed to serve a summons and complaint on the defendant within 120 days, or to show good cause for this failure. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m); Oyama v. Sheehan (In re Sheehan), 253 F.3d 507, 512-13 (9th Cir.2001).

The remaining contentions lack merit.

AFFIRMED.
