Plaintiff? Do you mean the Victim? Plaintiff is used in civil cases. It depends, the victim does not have to show up to criminal court unless they were a witness to the crime or if they were directed to do so by the court. If the victim was the only witness to the crime then the state may not have enough evidence to proceed further.

Can criminal charges be dropped by the plaintiff before court?

Yes, a plaintiff can request to drop criminal charges before a court appearance, but the decision ultimately rests with the prosecutor. In criminal cases, the state or government typically brings charges, so the prosecutor has the authority to dismiss the case. However, if the victim or plaintiff is not cooperating or wishes to withdraw their complaint, it may influence the prosecutor's decision to drop the charges.

I think this means when the Plaintiff's case is dismissed, meaning the court is not going forward with the charges, and with the costs, means the Plaintiff is responsible for the court costs.

The time you must wait for a court date before charges can be dropped varies significantly based on jurisdiction, the nature of the charges, and case specifics. In some cases, charges may be dropped if there’s insufficient evidence or procedural issues, often before the first court date.

How much time does the dea have to appeal a case after charges are dropped?

Do you mean dropped or dismissed? Charges are dropped by the prosecutors office and since (presumably) the case never reached trial, no judicial action took place that action is not appealable in court. On the other hand, charges which are dismissed by the court CAN be appealed and there is a "reasonable" time period for remedying the underlying reason. Ask your defense attorney.
