  • finding that plaintiffs failure to request an extension of time to complete service “weighs against” a finding of good cause
  • noting that service on individuals by certified mail “is not permitted under the federal or applicable state rules”
  • explaining that, where dismissal would prejudice some of a plaintiff’s claims due to applicable statutes of limitations, that fact “cuts both ways”
  • recognizing “the possibility of prejudice insofar as extending the service period beyond the statute of limitations period for the action imposes a corresponding prejudice on defendants” (internal quotation marks omitted)
  • dismissing case where pro se plaintiffs failed to effect service on defendants and failed to request an extension of time to serve
  • acknowledging that running of statute of limitations “cuts both ways”
