If the box "Accordingly this action is dismissed for lack of prosecution" is checked on a notice of lack of prosecution, it means that the case is being dismissed because there has been no progress or activity in the case for a certain period of time. This typically occurs when the parties involved fail to move the case forward or take necessary actions within a specified timeframe.
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).
"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.

An order granting the defendant notice for non-suit means that the court has allowed the defendant to formally notify the plaintiff that they are seeking to dismiss the case against them, typically due to a lack of evidence or legal grounds for the plaintiff's claim. This notice provides the plaintiff an opportunity to respond or remedy any deficiencies in their case before the dismissal is finalized. Essentially, it serves to ensure fairness by giving the plaintiff a chance to address the issues raised by the defendant.
Yes, a judge can dismiss a case before trial if there is not enough evidence or if there are legal reasons to do so, such as lack of jurisdiction or improper filing.
If no charges are made, it is typically referred to as a "lack of prosecution" or "dismissal of charges." This means that the authorities have decided not to pursue legal action against the individual for the alleged offense.
