dismissed for want of prosecution

Read a random definition: mail cover

A quick definition of dismissed for want of prosecution:

Dismissed for want of prosecution means that a case has been removed from the court's schedule because the person who started the case (the plaintiff) did not work on it enough to finish it. This can happen if the plaintiff does not show up to court or does not do what they need to do to move the case forward. It is like giving up on the case. The case can be dismissed without prejudice, which means the plaintiff can try again later, or with prejudice, which means they cannot try again.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Dismissed for want of prosecution means that a case has been removed from the court's docket because the plaintiff has failed to pursue the case diligently towards completion.

For example, if a plaintiff files a lawsuit but fails to take any action to move the case forward, such as attending court hearings or responding to requests for information, the court may dismiss the case for want of prosecution.

This type of dismissal is also known as dismissal for failure to prosecute or dismissal for lack of prosecution.

It is important for plaintiffs to actively pursue their cases to avoid being dismissed for want of prosecution. This means attending all court hearings, responding to requests for information, and taking other necessary steps to move the case forward.

This is obviously not true for UVA. Past years show they don't send any non A results until December
