Dore v. Thornburghgreen2 sentences2008Bezdikian argues the Legislature’s failure to specify a statute of limitations for recognition actions, as opposed to enforcement actions, means these actions must still be subject to the four-year limitations period of section 343, as we concluded long ago in Dore v.

[providing for extension of the 10-year enforceability period by renewal of the judgment].) Over a century ago, this court did hold in Dore v.
