Got Served As A Witness Friday. Now Someone Has Told Me The Case Was Dropped.

Card image cap

I got summoned to court as a witness for a trial. But now someone has been telling other witnesses that the case has been “dismissed” by the judge. What is the likelihood a judge would just dismiss a case on a random weekday with no notice? Unfortunately it’s Saturday so I can’t call an attorney. The case is Monday. I still plan on showing up. But what are the odds a judge would drop a case this close to trial?

Update. There was a summary judgment late Friday afternoon. So the case hasn’t been dismissed or “dropped”. It’s just another delay. A new hearing for the summary is pending.

Thank you all for the replies so far.
