Comments:Note the difference between 'desestimar' and 'sobreseimiento' as per the DEJ of the RAE: 'desestimar' appears to imply a finding or decision, whereas 'sobreseimiento', explicitly, no produce efectos de cosa juzgada. This loops back into conversations surrounding with prejudice or without prejudice.
