SUA SPONTE DISMISSAL OF THE COMPLAINT WAS NOT SUPPORTED BY EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES (SECOND DEPT). ​

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined there were no extraordinary circumstances justifying a sua sponte dismissal of the complaint in this foreclosure action:

A court’s power to dismiss a complaint, sua sponte, is to be used sparingly and only when extraordinary circumstances exist to warrant dismissal” … . Here, the Supreme Court was not presented with any extraordinary circumstances warranting sua sponte dismissal of the complaint … . HSBC Bank USA, N.A. v Badalamenti, 2024 NY Slip Op 03034, Second Dept 6-5-24

Practice Point: A sua sponte dismissal of a complaint is rarely upheld on appeal.
