OPINION

PER CURIAM:


Herbert Hayes appeals from the district court's order dismissing his complaint for failure to serve without good cause a United States Attorney within 120 days of filing. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(j). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion establishes that there was no abuse of discretion. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Hayes v. Stone, No. CA-91-4-3-CIV-H (E.D.N.C. Dec. 10, 1991). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
