: Conceptually, ACD hits the mark. The only thing is that it is only usedmin New York State.

Comment: "All the options were helpful and I have even used one or the other alternatively along my text. However, this is the one that, in my opinion, gives a better idea of what my term is about. Unfortunately I cannot give points to all... Thanks to all the colleagues for their contributions!"

stay of proceedings
"Stay of proceedings" is the English equivalent for the concept in Spanish Law of "archivar" or "sobreseimiento". I understand that the source term implies this concept of "archivar" o "sobreseer" - "dismiss" in English.

Discussion
Also, you may not have to include "court order" because judgment or adjudication may be enough, depending on your overall context.
So I have to translate the noun and the verb, in these two sentences... Thanks!
