Morgan v. Squatz ( 1920 )

Order reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion to dismiss for lack of prosecution granted, with ten dollars costs. The delay of seventeen years in bringing the action to trial, with a Us pendens on file against defendants’ property, was unconscionable, and is not excused by the very general allegations in the answering affidavit. Jenks, P. J., Mills, Rich, Putnam and Kelly, JJ., concur.
