Why did the Supreme Court dismiss certain municipal cases?

Those cases dismissed by the Court Orders addressed less serious municipal cases, and were unlikely to be adjudicated after sitting unresolved for many years. There are several categories of dismissals:

1. Cases more than 15 years old with a bench warrant attached, which were dismissed by Omnibus Dismissal Order of January 2019 and Supplemental Order of Sept. 2019.
2. Additional cases older than 1994 with driver’s license suspensions attached. Those cases were dismissed by Omnibus Dismissal Order of May 21, 2021.
3. Additional cases older than 1998 with a driver's license suspension and/or warrant attached. Those cases were dismissed by Omnibus Dismissal Order of Dec. 12, 2022. 
4. Additional cases older than 2004 with a driver’s license suspension and/or warrant attached. Those cases were dismissed by Omnibus Dismissal Order of Dec. 11, 2023.
5. Additional cases cases older than 2007 with a driver’s license suspension and/or warrant attached. Those cases were dismissed by Omnibus Dismissal Order of Oct. 7, 2024.
