You can, perhaps, have the case dismissed for lack of prosecution, failure to take action within one year. Whether the Statute of Limitations has run depends on the type of action.

The Statute of Limitations is satisfied if the action is filed in a timely manner. You are instead looking at a possible dismissal for lack of prosecution. There are procedures involved in seeking to do that; you should consult an attorney.
