How courts have described this case

• “Filing of a complaint tolls the applicable statute of limitations 120 days, but if the plaintiff fails to serve process on the defendant within that 120-day period, the statute of limitations automatically begins to run again when that period expires.”
• this Court considered whether ongoing settlement negotiations constituted good cause for failure to serve, and ruled in favor of dismissal where plaintiff’s first attempt at service was improper and no further attempts to serve within 120 days followed
