Plaintiff? Do you mean the Victim? Plaintiff is used in civil cases. It depends, the victim does not have to show up to criminal court unless they were a witness to the crime or if they were directed to do so by the court. If the victim was the only witness to the crime then the state may not have enough evidence to proceed further.

How much time does the dea have to appeal a case after charges are dropped?
Do you mean dropped or dismissed? Charges are dropped by the prosecutors office and since (presumably) the case never reached trial, no judicial action took place that action is not appealable in court. On the other hand, charges which are dismissed by the court CAN be appealed and there is a "reasonable" time period for remedying the underlying reason. Ask your defense attorney.

Court cases are introduced by the plaintiff, whether it's the government in a criminal case or a plaintiff in a civil case.
