Appeal from the United States District Court No. 5:18-cv-04492-BLF for the Northern District of California Beth Labson Freeman, District Judge, Presiding

Before: FERNANDEZ, TASHIMA, and FRIEDLAND, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

Shikeb Saddozai appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C § 1983 action alleging violation of his constitutional rights. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a dismissal for failure to effect service under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m). Walker v. Sumner, 14 F.3d 1415, 1422 (9th Cir. 1994), abrogated in part on other grounds by Sandin v. Conner, 515 U.S. 472 (1995). We may affirm on any ground supported by the record, Jones v. Allison, 9 F.4th 1136, 1139 (9th Cir. 2021), and we affirm.

The district did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Saddozai's action because Saddozai did not comply with the court's order, or request an extension of time to effect service. See Walker, 14 F.3d at 1422 (affirming dismissal for failure to serve where pro se plaintiff did not show good cause for the failure or show that he provided sufficient information for the marshal to effect service).

AFFIRMED.
