The arresting officer in my case submitted a formal withdrawal and request for dismissal in my DUI case. We have yet to complete pre trial or trial or sentencing. I am not sure what this means to my case.

That would be very unusual. If it has happened, your lawyer will know about it and can explain what is going on.

If the prosecutor does not dismiss the case, the judge could dismiss it. If you have an attorney on the case, you should discuss it with him or her.

The District Attorney will take the information into account in determining whether it is worthwhile to prosecute.
