I retract my comment, dismissed cases can be appealed in some cases but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know when or if it's appealable in all cases.

Well (correct me if I'm wrong here) you can't appeal a case that gets dismissed by an activist judge so it does matter very much what happens. Our boy Rudy needs to successfully convince the judge not to dismiss the case, which the other side is fighting for.

no you're right but a judge cant dismiss a case when they're are as many affidavits and witness testimony as there is i mean they could but they would essentially be saying that everyone is lying and perjured themselves

Hm, maybe they could say that what the witnesses testified wasn't amounting to fraud or improper treatment or whatever, so not doubting the witnesses, but dismissing the content of their testimony as irrelevant.
