In his Foreclosure Litigation column, Bruce Bergman notes how there has been a surprising number of cases lately where foreclosures are dismissed as abandoned for lenders' failure to adhere to a particular time frame.

A not so uncommon event in mortgage foreclosure actions is the dismissal of the case, or the compelling of some measure by the court, sua sponte, that is, on its own—without a motion having been made for that relief.
