LEAD NOTE IN ISSUE 210:The lead note is about the recent amendment of CPLR 205(a), designed to require a showing that the court dismissing a case for neglect to prosecute document in its decision a "general pattern of delay" on the part of the plaintiff before the plaintiff can be denied the statutory extension for a new action. The note is entitled, THE "GENERAL PATTERN OF DELAY" AMENDMENT OF CPLR 205(a): If Judge Dismissing Earlier Action Didn't Consider It Neglect to Prosecute, Plaintiff Does Get Six Months of CPLR 205(a) for New Action.
