THE MOTION TO AMEND THE COMPLAINT WAS MADE BEFORE THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS RAN, BUT THE SUPPLEMENTAL SUMMONS WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE MOTION PAPERS, THEREFORE THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS WAS NOT TOLLED BY THE MOTION (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department determined the statute of limitations was not tolled by the motion to amend the complaint, which was made before the statute ran, because the supplemental summons was not attached to the motion papers:

Although plaintiffs sought leave to amend the complaint before the applicable statute of limitations had expired, their motion did not toll the statute, because they failed to annex the supplemental summons to their papers (see Karagiannis v North Shore Long Is. Jewish Health Sys., Inc., 80 AD3d 569, 569 [2d Dept 2011]). Bossung v Rebaco Realty Holding Co., N.V., 2019 NY Slip Op 01188 [169 AD3d 538], First Dept 2-19-19
