How courts have described this case

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

• applying the Mendez good-cause rule, despite spending considerable space discussing the fact that Mendez was based on an \erroneous assumption\
• discussing the doctrinal uncertainty regarding Rule 4(m)’s good cause requirement, stemming from the Fourth Circuit’s decision in Mendez v. Elliot, 45 F.3d 75 (4th Cir. 1995)
• “‘[T]he good cause inquiry . . . implicates the reason for failure to effect service, not the severity of the consequences.’ Accordingly, ‘it is of no moment that the statute of limitations may pose a barrier to a new complaint . . . .’”
