BECAUSE THE PRIOR FORECLOSURE ACTION WAS DISMISSED FOR LACK OF STANDING, THE PRIOR ACTION DID NOT ACCELERATE THE DEBT; THEREFORE DEFENDANT DID NOT DEMONSTRATE THE INSTANT ACTION WAS TIME-BARRED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department noted that the defendant in this foreclosure action did not demonstrate the foreclosure action was time barred. The initial foreclosure action was dismissed for lack of standing. Therefore the debt was not accelerated by the prior action:

Since the prior action was dismissed for lack of standing, [defendant] failed to establish that the plaintiff had the authority to accelerate the debt through the complaint filed in the prior action … . Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v Rutty, 2022 NY Slip Op 03926, Second Dept 6-15-22

Practice Point: If a prior foreclosure action was dismissed for lack of standing that action will not be deemed to have accelerated the debt. The prior action, therefore, will not have started the statute-of-limitations clock..
