It is an order issued by a judge actually dismissing the charges that were brought in the case - usually for some legal insufficiency, or lack of evidence, of the case itself. There are two types of dismissal: Dismissal WITH Prejudice, and Dismissal WITHOUT Prejudice. WITH prejudice means that the same charges cannot be re-instituted and brought before the court again,. WITHOUT Prejudice means that the charges MAY be re-instituted and brought before court again AFTER the legal insufficiency is cured.
