THE DISMISSAL OF THE 2009 FORECLOSURE ACTION DID NOT CONSTITUTE A REVOCATION OF THE ACCELERATION OF THE DEBT, THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS TRIGGERED BY THE 2009 ACTION EXPIRED AND THE PROPERTY OWNER IS ENTITLED TO A DISCHARGE OF THE MORTGAGE (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined that a 2009 foreclosure action accelerated the debt and therefore started the statute of limitations. The dismissal of the 2009 action did not revoke the election to accelerate. The current owner of the property was therefore entitled to a discharge of the mortgage:

​

The filing of the summons and complaint in the 2009 action was sufficient to accelerate the mortgage … . Contrary to the Supreme Court’s determination, although a lender may revoke its election to accelerate the mortgage, the dismissal of the prior foreclosure action did not constitute an affirmative act by the lender revoking its election to accelerate, and the record is barren of any affirmative act of revocation occurring during the six-year limitations period subsequent to the initiation of the 2009 action … . MSMJ Realty, LLC v DLJ Mtge.
