"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.
