GAIL CAVE, Respondent, v. AGNES SPANIER et al., Appellants.

Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.

The defendants contend that the dismissal of the prior complaint dated July 14, 1992, for failure to prosecute the action precludes the plaintiff from invoking CPLR 205 (a), which allows a plaintiff to commence a second action based on the same transaction or occurrence as the first action within six months of the termination of the first action. Since none of the Statutes of Limitation governing the various causes of action asserted in the second complaint dated June 11, 1993, had expired as of the date of the commencement of the second action, it was not necessary for the plaintiff to rely on CPLR 205 (a) to extend the time in which to bring the second action. Bracken, J.P., Rosenblatt, Lawrence, Krausman and Goldstein, JJ., concur.
