HAWKES, J.
Appellant challenges the trial court's order dismissing his action against Appellees with prejudice for failure to comply with Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.070(j), which requires a plaintiff to serve process on the defendant within 120 days from filing the complaint. Because it is unclear whether the trial court was aware it was permitted to grant an extension of time for service, even without a showing of good cause, we reverse and remand.
