California Superior Court
Request for Dismissal (California CIV-110)
Dismiss all or part of a California civil case without wrestling with the checkbox grid.
What is Form 581-ET used for?
Docgle turns CIV-110 into a guided interview for the dismissal effect, the case part being dismissed, signatures, and the waived-fee declaration.
File a clear dismissal request that marks the right court boxes and leaves clerk-only sections blank.
Do not guess on prejudice or waived-fee recovery questions; those choices can affect future filing rights and court lien handling.
