Before DAVIS, SMITH, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges

PER CURIAM:*

     Janis L. Horton, federal prisoner # 05959-031, appeals the

district court’s dismissal of her civil rights action brought

     *
       Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
                           No. 04-10145
                                -2-

against federal employees pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named

Agents of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971) for

failure to effect timely service of the defendants under FED. R.

CIV. P. 4(m).   Horton has not established that the district court

abused its discretion in dismissing this lawsuit.     See Systems

Signs Supplies v. United State Dep’t of Justice, 903 F.2d 1011,

1013 (5th Cir. 1990).   Consequently, the judgment of the district

court is AFFIRMED.
