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.
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.
Comply with Local Rule 3116, which provides that a written response to any OSC be filed with the Court at least 5 days in advance of the hearing (although the Court encourages filing any response at least 10 days in advance of the OSC where possible).
A list of all disputed issues with a short explanation of each;A statement of facts from each party; andA signed stipulation as to undisputed issues of fact and law and exhibits, which neither party is objecting. This rule is essentially forcing parties to try to settle issues in their case before going to trial.
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.

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.
As explained by the Legal Information Institute, a dismissal with prejudice is a final judgment that means that the “plaintiff cannot refile the same claim again in that court.” In other words, the case has been closed, and there is no opportunity to rectify errors and re-file the complaint.
A dismissal with prejudice means a case is dismissed permanently. However, a permanent dismissal of the case at the trial level doesn't mean you cannot appeal the judgment at a higher court. An experienced appeals attorney can analyze your case and determine whether you have valid grounds for appeal to a higher judge.
