JERRY E. SMITH, Circuit Judge:
The Appellant appeals the dismissal of his qui tam suit for failure timely to serve process and to prosecute. We affirm.
I
In May 2000, Appellant sued Appellee, a corporation, alleging claims under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 3729-3744 (the “FCA”).
