Nebraska Dismissal (Small Claims Court) is a specific type of court case in which a plaintiff brings a civil suit against a defendant in order to recover money damages for a specific amount less than $3,500. The case is usually heard by a county court judge, who will review the evidence presented and make a ruling. In some cases, the defendant may be able to have the case dismissed before trial if he or she can prove that the plaintiff does not have a valid claim. This is known as a Nebraska Dismissal. Types of Nebraska Dismissal (Small Claims Court) include motion to dismiss, motion for summary judgment, and motion for judgment on the pleadings. Motion to dismiss is when the defendant argues that the plaintiff does not have a valid claim or that the evidence presented is insufficient. Motion for summary judgment is when the defendant argues that the evidence does not support the plaintiff’s case. Motion for judgment on the pleadings is when the defendant argues that the plaintiff’s case does not have any legal basis.
