neutral  María Diehn: La expresión *en contra de* es correcta, no así la traducción de la frase. "Action": la demanda"; "moving defendants": los acusados que presentaron la moción. *With prejudice* implica: *sin derecho a apelar*.

Explanation:
Lourdes: arriba doy la traducción de "as against", pero según como viene el giro de frase, yo traduciría:

Se desestimará la acción en perjuicio de los demandados promoventes, or
Se desestimará la acción en contra de ......
