MEMORANDUM **
Wayne Feuerhahn appeals the district court’s judgment dismissing his action which alleged defendants violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681b(a)(l)-(7), and the Fair Debt Collections Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1692(a)(6)(A), pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we vacate and remand for further proceedings.
We review for abuse of discretion a district court’s dismissal pursuant to Fed. R.Civ.P. 4(m). Wei v. Hawaii, 763 F.2d 370, 371 (9th Cir.1985).1 The district court abused its discretion by dismissing Feuer-hahn’s action because he had good cause *787for failing to timely serve the summons and complaint. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m); Wei, 763 F.2d at 371.
VACATED AND REMANDED.
