Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

      Margaret Reaves appeals the district court’s order dismissing her amended

complaint with prejudice for failure to timely serve Defendants. We have reviewed the

record and find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s decision to dismiss the

complaint. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Reaves v.

Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, No. 5:16-cv-00186-FL (E.D.N.C. July 16, 2018). However,

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m), we modify the district court’s order to a dismissal

without prejudice.    We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument

would not aid the decisional process.

                                                            AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED
