MEMORANDUM OPINION
BRIAN BARNETT DUFF, District Judge.
Plaintiffs Kristina Kruse Lorentzen and Alan Lorentzen filed their original complaint in this diversity case on August 18, 1987. They did not serve the numerous defendants with complaints and summonses until late in January, 1988. Because this delay exceeded the 120-day period for service established by Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(j) (“Rule 4(j)”), most of the defendants moved to dismiss without prejudice pursuant to that rule. For the reasons set forth below, these motions are granted and the case is dismissed.
