An action may be dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction, pursuant to CPLR 3211[a][8]. The affirmative defense of lack of personal jurisdiction is waived if it is not raised in the answer or a pre-answer motion to dismiss, pursuant to CPLR 3211[e]. However, the defense is not waived if the defendant corrects the omission before the expiration of the time to amend the answer without leave of court.
