Boktor v. Altemus
The trial court dismissed a lawsuit for delay in prosecution. (Code Civ. Proc., 583.410.) This occurred 13 months after the complaint was filed. The dismissal was not authorized: the court may not use the discretionary dismissal statutes to terminate an action pending less than two years. ( 583.420, subd. (a).)
