Re: 995

The judge denies it (most of the time) and you go to trial.

The short answer. Based on not having much to add,

Nothing. The matter does not get dismissed.

Re: 995

If the judge denies the 995 (happens often) the case starts anew, with a new arraignment, etc. One big difference is that the case is then set for trial, not preliminary hearing.
