How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• ‘“[G]ood cause under Rule [4(m)] seems to require at least as much as would be required to show excusable neglect;” inadvertence or counsel’s ignorance of the rules generally is not sufficient
• plaintiff failed to demonstrate good cause when he “waited until the eve of the service deadline” to mail a summons, failed to serve the defendants before the cutoff, and did not “present facts that would justify” the belated service attempt
