Description

The district court did not abuse its discretion in ordering dismissal of the case after nine months had passed without service and without any other action on appellants part to move the case forward. See Caribbean Transp. Sys., Inc. v. Autoridad de las Navieras de Puerto Rico, 901 F.2d 196, 197 (1st Cir. 1990) (affirming the dismissal of plaintiffs case where they failed to serve the amended complaint for seven months and did little to move the action along). The question then becomes whether the district court abused its discretion in denying appellants request, made in her Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion, for an extension of time in which to serve the Secretary. We think not.
