The court would not enter an order dismissing the plaintiff's case if the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment were denied. This is because a denial of summary judgment means that there are genuine issues of material fact that must be decided by a jury, and the case should proceed to trial. In all other instances listed, the court may decide to dismiss the case.
