How long do you have for WHAT? If your case was dismissed WITHOUT prjudice, it means that the prosecutor can re-institute the charges and indict you again for the same offfense.

Answer

You haven't provided enough detail and the answer depends on the type of case and court where your case was filed. In a civil case, the dismissal can mean such factors as lack of cause or that your complaint is deficient and you need to file an amended complaint. Generally, there is a time period after the dismissal when something else can be filed.
