If a case is dismissed means the Judge threw the case out of court. If a juror is dismissed, the juror is told to go home and another juror replaces him. The disposition is the final outcome. That is when the judge is through with the case. If it is a civil case, one side either has to pay the other side or not. If it is a criminal case, one person goes to jail or walks free. Anyway, everyone leaves the court room.

It can have several meanings depending on the context and the phraseology of the sentence in which it is contained. Give the fully worded example please.

It's not dismissed forever.If the case was dismissed without prejudice, a plaintiff could resurrect it, if, for instance, there was some new evidence. But, "with prejudice" means the court is closing the case permanently.
What does dism-furth of justice mean?
It "sounds" like you are quoting some kind of "short-hand" notation written on a court paper or the court file.

If this is correct, it is important that you determine if the case was dismissed WITH or WITHOUT prejudice.
What is dismissed or not prosecuted mean as a court disposition?
The effect is the same with regard to the defendant, but these events take place at different parts of the process. If the state decides not to prosecute (called a nolle prosequi), the case never reaches the court. A case is dismissed by the court after someone has been charged and the court either finds there is insufficient evidence to prove the charge, or on a motion from one of the parties to the case.
