What happens after an fwop notice is filed in court?

FWOP = For Want (i.e.: lack) of Prosecution. The way the question is worded it sounds as if the defense is filing a motion to dismiss the case - "for want of prosecution." If the judge agrees, it depends entirely on whether they dismiss the case WITH prejudice or WITHOUT prejudice. If it is WITHOUT prejudice the case COULD be opened again by the prosecution. If it is WITH prejudice the case is over and finished and can never be brought again (for THIS particular offense).

What does want of prosecution mean?

"Want of prosecution" (or lack of prosecution) means that a particular lawsuit is not being actively pursued, i.e. prosecuted by one or another parties. All states have court rules that set time frames within which certain things, like take depositions, issue interrogatories, etc. have to be done. In the even a party to a lawsuit does not do what is supposed to be done within those time limits, the court has the discretion in an appropriate instance to dismiss the case for want or lack of prosecution. Curiously, this phrase is used most often in civil cases rather than criminal cases, even though the word prosecution is associated with criminal cases rather than civil cases.
