A civil lawsuit can be dismissed in two ways, voluntarily and involuntarily You will have to check the rules of court of the state where the lawsuit is to get the exact method, but in general terms, this is a common practice: A plaintiff may voluntarily dismiss the lawsuit practically at any time during the suit, except that most courts have rules that restrict this ability more and more as the lawsuit proceeds closer and closer to trial date. In most courts, since voluntary dismissals are usually without prejudice to refiling them, courts are wary of litigants using voluntary dismissals to cause excess expense to the defendant. Plus, it wastes court time and resources to have the suit go through the system more than once. If the lawsuit is at an early stage a voluntary dismissal might be taken by simply filing a pleading stating the matter is voluntarily dismissed. If it is later in the process, the court might require the defendant to agree to it. And if it is still further on the court might have to permit the withdrawal and perhaps make it a dismissal without the right to refile. An involuntary dismissal is one where the other litigant seeks to dismiss the case most likely for some failure to abide by the court's procedural rules. In that situation the defendant files a written request to dismiss the case for whatever reason is applicable This is called a notice of motion for an order dismissing the lawsuit. Plaintiff has the right to be heard to argue against dismissal. Even an involuntary dismissal could be without prejudice to refiling, but many times it will be dismissed without the right to refile it.

"Release" them from what? POSSIBLE Answers: Civil defendants are not incarcerated so there is no 'release' from jail involved. The plaintiff may withdraw the lawsuit thereby 'releasing' the defendant from having to defend himself. The judge can 'release' (or dismiss) a defendant from a suit if they find insufficient cause that he was included in it.
