FAQ
Request for Dismissal (CIV-110) Tell the court and the parties that you do not want to go forward with the case. You also need to use Notice of Entry of Dismissal and Proof of Service (form CIV-120). Get form CIV-110. Effective: January 1, 2025.
A court may allow a plaintiff to voluntarily withdraw from the suit through a Rule 41(a) dismissal without prejudice if the plaintiff would suffer hardship from continuing the suit. Also, under Rule 37(b)(2) , a court may dismiss without prejudice to sanction a party acting in bad faith.
Without prejudice means that the losing party can try again, often in the same case. For example, if the complaint pleads 4 of the 5 elements of fraud, the judge, on motion, should grant a motion to dismiss without prejudice, with leave to re-write it with all 5 elements plainly stated.
Fortunately, in Arizona, there are time limits for re-filing misdemeanor charges after dismissal without prejudice. The state has up to one year from the date of the offense or six months from the date of dismissal, whichever is longer, to re-file the charges.
So if a case is dismissed without prejudice, the plaintiff may have a limited amount of time in which to re-file the complaint. Once the two-year deadline expires, so does the plaintiff's chance of re-filing the complaint. So clearly, time is of the essence when a case is dismissed without prejudice.
If your case is dismissed without prejudice, prosecutors will still have another two years to refile before the statute of limitations expires. Contact our California criminal defense lawyers for more information.
We distinguish a dismissal with prejudice from a dismissal without prejudice. The former disallows and bars the refiling of the complaint; whereas, the same cannot be said of a dismissal without prejudice. Likewise, where the law permits, a dismissal with prejudice is subject to the right of appeal.
An action shall be brought to trial within five years after the action is commenced against the defendant.
Code of Civil Procedure Section 583.310 mandates automatic dismissal of any case that has not been “brought to trial” within 5 years of filing. This section does not require that a case reach “judgment” within five years, but only that trial commence within the statutory period.
Depending on the type of case or procedure, California's statutes of limitations range from one year to 10 years. The point at which the clock starts ticking typically is the date of the incident or discovery of a wrong. Statutes can be extended (“tolled”) for various reasons.
