Before SMITH, BOWMAN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.

       James Widtfeldt appeals the district court’s1 without-prejudice dismissal of his
pro se civil action for failure to prosecute. Upon careful review, we conclude that the

      1
       The Honorable Joseph F. Bataillon, United States District Judge for the
District of Nebraska.
district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the action without prejudice,
because Widtfeldt failed to establish that he had properly effectuated service against
defendants within 120 days after filing his complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m);
Bullock v. United States, 160 F.3d 441, 442 (8th Cir. 1998) (per curiam) (standard
of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
