FAQ
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.
District Courts may dismiss with prejudice where the plaintiff acted irresponsibly or in bad faith, or where rehearing the claim would burden the court system.
Dismissal without prejudice is a legal term indicating that charges have been dismissed but can be refiled at some point. Charges may be dismissed without prejudice at the prosecutor's request, or they may be dismissed at the judge's discretion.
Dismissal without prejudice means that the judge dismissed the plaintiff's or prosecutor's case without damaging their right to have their matter heard in court later. A prosecutor may ask to withdraw the case against a person to have more time to make a case stronger, find more evidence or question other witnesses.
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 the case is dismissed without prejudice, prosecutors will have another two years to refile before the statute of limitations expires. You can contact our California criminal defense lawyers for a case review.
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.
