My public pretender and the DA have used "DNR" to present to the Judge in my court case. I still do not know why they are referring this and the judge accepting it. Other than 'Do Not Resuscitate', etc. I cannot find anything other than "Dismiss And Reinstate". If that's it, then why 2x to the judge? And OK'd as well?

It most likely means "Defense Not Ready". Your attorney probably wasn't ready and asked for a continuance.

You asked this question before. I have never heard the term DNR in a courtroom context not involving health care. Since you have not asked your lawyer, you are apparently afraid of the answer, and since you refuse to give us any useful information about the case and the context, there's not much anybody can say.
It may mean "dismissed, not refilable," but usually in legalese that's "dismissed with prejudice."

Do Not resuscitate. It is a legal document stating that no heroic or extraordinary measures may be taken to save the undersigned's life.

Why did you not ask your public defender?
