Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia
Dismissal with Prejudice
I recieved a Peremptory Calendar Call for a Suit of Account. They provide me with with 3 options, Announcement of Ready, Request for Mediation or Dismissal. If I request dismissal with prejudice, will the civil case be dropped? Is it best to provide the response on the last eligible day?

Re: Dismissal with Prejudice
The crucial question is "are you the plaintiff or the defendant"? If plaintiff, you don't want it dismissed; if you are defendant, you do. It doesn't matter when you respond.
It sounds like you are shooting in the dark. Consult with a local attorney.
