A Georgia Order Dismissing Case For Want Of Prosecution is a legal order issued by a court in the state of Georgia that terminates a pending legal proceeding without a decision on the merits due to lack of prosecution. This type of order is most commonly issued when a plaintiff or petitioner fails to file a response or take other action in the case within the allotted time frame. In Georgia, there are two types of orders dismissing a case for want of prosecution: the Voluntary Non-Suit and the Involuntary Dismissal. A Voluntary Non-Suit is an order that the plaintiff or petitioner can request in order to voluntarily dismiss the case. This type of dismissal does not involve a court ruling and is typically used when the plaintiff or petitioner no longer wishes to pursue the case. An Involuntary Dismissal is an order that the court will issue if the plaintiff or petitioner fails to take action in the case within the allotted time frame. This type of order is typically used when a plaintiff or petitioner has failed to file a response to a motion or take other action in the case.
