More details to this question:
A lawsuit was filed against us in July 2006. We were served in November 2006. A summary judgement was entered in January 2007, which was vacated in January 2008. Other than pursuing the summary judgement, the plaintiff has never pursued this case - never moved to take depositions, etc. Is there any sort of rule that says if the plaintiff does not move on a case, the defendant can have the lawsuit dismissed?
