Case: 16-31074 Document: 00514367366 Page: 2 Date Filed: 02/28/2018 No. 16-31074 Dr. Henry Woods 1 for failure to timely serve under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m). For the reasons explained below, we AFFIRM. I. Background Marjan Rroku is an Albanian citizen currently incarcerated in Albania. While in the United States, Rroku alleges that he was apprehended for an immigration violation and eventually detained for 513 days at LaSalle Detention Facility in Louisiana, an ICE immigration detention facility operated by a private corporation, GEO Group. Following his time at LaSalle, Rroku was deported to Albania. Rroku alleges that, while at LaSalle, he was placed in administrative segregation and subjected to “harsh and dangerous conditions,” including cold, noise, dirt, and nonstop light.
