The wording of the question is too cryptic - however - it appears that the Plaintiffs claim was dismissed due to the plaintiff's lack of prosecution (e.g.: The plaintiff failed to appear in court to press their case -or- the plaintiff withdrew their case- etc).
It means exactly what it says. It was disposed of due to a request for dismissal. What you REALLY need to find out is - was the dismissal WITH prejudice or WITHOUT prejudice. IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
Not really enough info to answer -BUT- it sounds like it means that a FINAL DISPOSTION has not yet been entered in the case.
disposed
The abstract noun form of the verb to dispose is disposition.
A Certificate of Disposition is provided (generally by a funeral home, to the best of my knowledge) to prove that the remains of a deceased individual were disposed of - i.e. creamated or buried.
The disposition date refers to the date that the case was disposed of, or adjudicated, in court. If you enter a plea, the disposition date will be that day. If you have a trial, the disposition date will be the date that the jury reads their verdict.
Disposed by Judge - a judgment or disposition is reached by the judge in a case which is not dismissed and in which no trial has been held. Includes stipulations by the parties, conditional judgments, summary judgment after hearing and any matter in which a judgment is entered excluding cases disposed of by default.
That means one of the parties did not show up at the trial and the other party prevailed by default.
Disposed means the case is closed. It could either be a final judgment or dismissed.
Generally it passes to the husband. If he predeceased her, it will be disposed of according to the terms of her will. If she died intestate, State law will determine the disposition.
When a case status is active but disposed, it typically means that the case is no longer pending or open, but that it has been resolved or completed in some way. The term "disposed" generally indicates that a final decision or judgment has been made on the case.
In a generic usage as an adjective it means: eager, inclined to, prone, ready, receptive, willing, all meaning having a certain tendency (i.e.: The court is 'disposed' to look favorably upon the motion.) In this sense, disposed is related to an inclination or tendency.AnswerAccording to Black's Law Dictionary: a final settlement or determination
