It's typically up to the Prosecutor in a criminal case to make the decision to dismiss the case, unless, the state has failed to meet the requirements for the charge they've laid against a person. When the latter happens, the defense can motion for the case to be dismissed with or without prejudice.

No. If you are the plaintiff (i.e.: civil case), you can dismiss your case at any time. If you are the defendant, you would have to settle with the plaintiff for them to dismiss the case.
