Rule 41(b) is one of the Federal Rules of Procedure for lawsuits in the federal courts. It deals with Involuntary Dismissals. This rule provides that if a plaintiff fails to prosecute his/her claim or to comply with the Rules or orders of the Court, the defendant may ask the court to dismiss the complaint. Under the right circumstances if the plaintiff cannot or will not move the case forward or obey a rule or order, the court can dismiss the case. Under the federal rules, this type of dismissal operates as an adjudication on the merits and is a dismissal WITH prejudice unless the order specifically says that the dismissal is without prejudice. If the court order says "dismissed pursuant to Rule 41(b)", then it may not be reinstated. If the order says "dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Rule 41(b), then it may be reinstated.
