Decided December 30, 1986.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Sanford Topper for the plaintiff.

Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Louis J. Caruso, Solicitor General, and George L. McCargar and Alan Hoffman, Assistant Attorneys General, for the defendant.


BOYLE, J.

We are asked to determine in this case whether the trial court properly determined that the no-progress dismissal and the subsequent denial of plaintiff's motion to reinstate operated to dismiss plaintiff's case with prejudice, thus barring any refiling of the claim. We hold that it did not, and reverse the decision of the Court of Appeals which affirmed the trial court's judgment.
