Karl Nesfeder, pro se, appeals from Judge Scullin's grant of summary judgment to certain defendants and from his dismissal of the complaint against the remaining defendants for lack of service.  We affirm for substantially the reasons set forth by the district court.  See Nesfeder v. City of Utica Police Dep't, No. 92-CV-442 (FJS) 1994 WL 505622 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 15, 1994).  The district court's dismissal of Nesfeder's complaint against the Utica Police Department and the "phone worker" at Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center was required by Local Rule 41.2 of the Northern District of New York and Rule 4(m), Fed.R.Civ.P.

5
Nesfeder also raises a number of arguments that he did not raise before the district court.  Because we see no manifest error in the district court's rulings, we will not consider these arguments raised for the first time on appeal.  Amalgamated Clothing v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 54 F.3d 69, 72-73 (2d Cir.1995);  Greene v. United States, 13 F.3d 577, 586 (2d Cir.1994);  Thomas E. Hoar, Inc. v. Sara Lee Corp., 900 F.2d 522, 527 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 498 U.S. 846 (1990).

6
We therefore affirm.
