Felony Dismissal Timeliness

This chart shows the number of days from filing to dismissal. In general, dismissals should occur as early as possible to best serve those involved and to avoid wasted resources. The timeliness of the case is influenced by the DA’s Office as well as the defense and the presiding judge.

The median is displayed to account for very long or very short times to resolution that may skew the average. Cases grouped by most serious filed charge and disposition date (i.e., date the case was dismissed). Plea Dismissals are excluded.
