In Civil Court can you move to oppose a Summary judgment and Move for dismissal at the same time?

Without getting into the specifics of the bases for a summary judgment motion and a motion for dismissal (and there are many and may differ among states), they can be made simultaneously because they are not directed to the same aspect of the case. The summary judgment motion is directed to the factual aspect of the case while a motion for dismissal is directed to the procedural aspect of the case. The summary judgment motion alleges that there are no genuine issues as to the material facts of the case and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The motion for dismissal usually alleges that the other party has failed to abide by some procedural rule, the penalty for which is dismissal of the case. Two different theories. Opposition to a summary judgment motion indirectly requires some admission that there are facts that could go one way or another at trial. A motion for dismissal will allege that the other party has not done something required by the rules like providing discovery on time, or lack of prosecution of the case. Admitting that a jury could believe either side at a trial does not give up procedural reasons to dismiss the case.

"Dismissal without prejudice" is usually a judgment heard in criminal court, and means that a case is dismissed but CAN be reinstituted at a later time. If by "petition" you are referring to a "motion" before the court, it depends on whose motion it is. If it is your motion, simply ask to withdraw it. If it is the other party's motion, you can offer your testimony as to why it shouldn't be granted, but that is all you can do and the judge will decide how to rule.


What is an involuntary dismisssal?

The party who brings the case may dismiss the case at anytime, generally, and sometimes with stipulations, agreements. That would generally be considered a voluntary dismissal, i.e. dismissal for their own reasons, likely. On the other hand the opposing party may ask the court, by motion, too dismiss the case brought against them; and the court may grant that motion to dismiss, and dismiss the case. The involuntary dismissal may occur because, for example, a party fails to comply with rule requirement or requirements in his/her "pleadings."

In a court of law what does instanter dismissing mean?

The answer to your question is: Instanter means the court dismisses a usual civil proceeding instantly upon filing, though that fact may not become evident to some other date following the filing of the proceeding; but it is dismissal by the court without a motion by an opposing party; or without a motion from the judge (sua sponte dismissal), such motion known as a show cause order. Usually the Plaintiff can file an amended pleaded after instanter dismissal, however, instanter dismissal is usually unauthorized by law, as court is usually prohibited from dismissing a case without a motion from a party except where the dismissal is for lack of subject matter jurisdiction; then the court may dismiss on its own motion known as sua sponte dismissal.
