Dorsey v. District of Columbia6/19/2003
e cannot say that such considerations [of prejudice to the plaintiffs and lack of prejudice to the defendants] are irrelevant to a good cause determination, they cannot by themselves provide good cause for the failure to make service within the [applicable] period . . . and do not go toward an explanation for the failure . . . to achieve proper service.
Id., 649 A.2d at 294 (citing Tso v. Delaney, 969 F.2d 373, 377 (7th Cir. 1992)) (emphasis supplied). Because Dorsey did not meet her initial burden of offering some explanation for her failure to serve Corporation Counsel, we conclude that the trial court was obligated to deny the motion to reinstate. Therefore the trial court did not err in doing so.
Affirmed.
