WHERE AN ACTION HAS BEEN MARKED OFF AS “INACTIVE,” THERE IS NO NOTE OF ISSUE, THERE HAS BEEN NO 90-DAY DEMAND AND THERE IS NO ORDER DISMISSING THE COMPLAINT, RESTORATION TO THE CALENDAR AT ANY TIME IS AUTOMATIC (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined plaintiff’s motion to retore the action to the calendar after it was marked off because plaintiff failed to appear should have been granted. A note of issue had not been filed, there had been no 90-day notice pursuant to CPLR 3216, and there was no order directing dismissal of the complaint. Therefore restoration to the calendar at any time is automatic:

Where, as here, the case was marked “inactive” before a note of issue had been filed, there was no 90-day notice pursuant to CPLR 3216, and there was no order directing dismissal of the complaint pursuant to 22 NYCRR 202.27 for failure to appear at a compliance conference, “‘restoring a case marked “inactive” is automatic'” … . Under these circumstances, a motion to restore the action to the calendar should be granted “‘without considering whether the plaintiff had a reasonable excuse for the delay or whether [it] engaged in dilatory conduct'” … . Moreover, since this action was pre-note of issue and could not properly be marked off the calendar pursuant to CPLR 3404, the plaintiff was not required to move to restore the action to the calendar within any specified time frame … . Thus, contrary to the Supreme Court’s determination, the plaintiff’s motion was not untimely. Fifth Third Mtge. Co. v Schiro, 2022 NY Slip Op 06689. Second Dept 11-23-22

Practice Point: Where a case has been marked off as “inactive,” there is no note of issue, there has been no 90-day demand and there is not order dismissing the complaint, restoration to the calendar at any time is automatic.
