Utah Dismissal or Acquittal is the legal process whereby criminal charges are dropped or a defendant is found not guilty of a crime in a Utah court. There are two types of Utah Dismissal or Acquittal: dismissal and acquittal. A dismissal is when a criminal charge is dropped or dismissed by the court without any order of guilt or innocence being made. This may happen if the prosecution does not have enough evidence to prove the defendant's guilt or if the defendant is able to provide a satisfactory defense. An acquittal is when a defendant is found not guilty of a crime in a Utah court. This is usually after a trial in which the prosecution must prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. If the jury finds that the prosecution has not met the burden of proof, then the defendant will be acquitted.

FAQ
Dismissal by notice or stipulation is "without prejudice," which means it is possible for the plaintiff or counterclaimant to bring their claim again in the future by asking the court to set aside or "undo" the dismissal.
A Rule 41(a)(1)(i) dismissal "strips a court of jurisdiction" in the sense that it "terminates the case all by itself. There is nothing left to adjudicate."xxiii Once the plaintiff has dismissed the action under the rule, the court loses all jurisdiction over the action.
Dismissal in the interest of justice allows a court to dis- miss a procedurally proper, but unjust or unjustifiable, cause of action.
Utah law provides a two-year statute of limitations for most misdemeanors and a four-year statute of limitations for most felonies. If a case is dismissed without prejudice, it may be re-filed within the statute of limitations period.
The change in Rule 41(a)(1)(i) gives the service of a motion for summary judgment by the adverse party the same effect in preventing unlimited dismissal as was originally given only to the service of an answer. The omission of reference to a motion for summary judgment in the original rule was subject to criticism.
If a plaintiff who previously dismissed an action in any court files an action based on or including the same claim against the same defendant, the court may order the plaintiff to pay all or part of the costs of the previous action and may stay the proceedings until the plaintiff has complied.
