That is why Cannon will not dismiss it. A couple of weeks here to think about it, another issue, another hearing, another motion.
Just like the NFL. She’s kneeling on the ball and running out the clock. Jack is losing. She won’t grant him an easy way to refile in another court by dismissing it.
I think Judge Cannon is just letting Smith hang himself. Eventually she will likely have enough to dismiss with prejudice.
In the mean time, she can throw out all of the evidence to date and keep the case going. Maybe Hatchet Jack will ask for the case to be dismissed.
