   MEMORANDUM

California state prisoner Diallo E. Uhu-ru appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to prosecute. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion, Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439, 1440 (9th Cir.1988) (per curiam), and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Uhuru’s action pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m) because he failed to establish “good cause” for his failure to serve the summons and complaint on the defendants within 120 days. Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m); see also Boudette v. Barnette, 923 F.2d 754, 755 (9th Cir.1991) (holding that good cause means, at a minimum, excusable neglect).

AFFIRMED.
