Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 12-1773: Dismissal of action - Failure to file pleadings or serve

process.

A. Any action under the Small Claims Procedure Act which is not

at issue and in which no pleading has been filed or other action

taken for one (1) year and in which no motion has been pending

during any part of the year shall be dismissed without prejudice by

the court on its own motion after notice to the parties or their

attorneys of record; providing, the court may, upon written

application and for good cause shown by order in writing, allow the

action to remain on its docket.

B. If service of process under the Small Claims Procedure Act

is not made upon a defendant within one hundred eighty (180) days

after the filing of the affidavit, the action shall be deemed to

have been dismissed without prejudice as to that defendant. The

action shall not be deemed to have been dismissed where a summons

was served on the defendant within one hundred eighty (180) days

after the filing of the affidavit and a court later holds that the

summons or its service was invalid. After a court quashes a summons

or its service, a new summons may be served on the defendant within

a time specified by the judge. If the new summons is not served

within the specified time, the action shall be deemed to have been

dismissed without prejudice as to that defendant. This subsection

shall not apply with respect to a defendant who has been in a

foreign country for one hundred eighty (180) days following the

filing of the affidavit.
