Yes, essentially. A voluntary dismissal with prejudice indicates that the plaintiff has voluntarily dropped the case and cannot file suit again. A voluntary dismissal without prejudice gives the plaintiff one more chance in court.
A dismissal with prejudice in any civil case means that the case may not be refiled. A "Notice of Voluntary Dismissal with Prejudice" is typically filed by the Plaintiff when all issues have been resolved. Alternatively, a court may enter an order dismissing a case with prejudice if the Plaintiff engages in one or more actions that the court considers to be egregious. In those circumstances, the Plaintiff is normally warned several times before this serious a penalty is imposed, as it effectively cuts off the Plaintiff's right to judicial redress for the matter involved in the lawsuit.
It means that the lawsuit has been dismissed, typically after being decided on the merits, and cannot be refiled.The foregoing answer is correct. The dismissal with prejudice can also be voluntary on the part of the plaintiff. That is often a condition of a settlement of litigation.
Yes. It is customary to file a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal with Prejudice. This has the effect of terminating the pending lawsuit and preventing the Plaintiff from refiling another suit against the same party(ies) based upon the same facts. In fact, the Defendant will likely insist upon it.
When a plaintiff voluntarily dismisses a case, they typically retain the right to refile the lawsuit, unless the dismissal is with prejudice, which prevents refiling. Upon refiling, the plaintiff must adhere to the relevant statutes of limitations and any procedural requirements set by the court. The court may also consider the reasons for the initial dismissal when assessing the refiled case. It's important for the plaintiff to ensure that any new filing addresses any issues that led to the initial dismissal to avoid similar outcomes.
It is a notice that the complaint has been dismissed at the request of the plaintiff, and the notice of lis pendens, which is a notice filed in the place where deeds are recorded showing that the property may be seized to pay the debt, is also null and void. If the plaintiff has not recorded the order of dismissal, the owner of the property should file it where the deed and lis pendens was recorded.
This is probably a voluntary dismissal of the case without prejudice. It means that at this point the case is being dismissed or not prosecuted. Without prejudice, however, this means the case could be refiled at any time or amended.

In short it means that the case was dismissed inconclusively. There may have been missing evidence or procedural requirements not met, and therefore the case could potentially be brought before the court again by the parties involved. It is an order issued by a judge actually dismissing the charges that were brought in the case - usually for some legal insufficiency, or lack of evidence, in the case itself. Dismissal WITHOUT Prejudice means that the charges MAY be re-instituted and brought before court again AFTER the legal insufficiency is cured. It is usually a term used in the context of case being dismissed. The significance of it is that the Plaintiff/Prosecution retains the right to re-file the lawsuit a second time. A case can be dismissed without prejudice by the judge (such as, if he or she grants a motion to dismiss filed by the defendant--but in such a case, the plaintiff/prosecution usually will be given the right amend the complaint (restate the allegations of the lawsuit), or it can be voluntarily dismissed altogether by the plaintiff/prosecutor. In many jurisdictions, a second voluntary dismissal by a plaintiff will preclude any subsequent refiling of the cause of action, but that is governed by local law.
Since it is voluntary, it would seem to indicate that the prosecutor requested that the court dismiss the charge, subject to its being re-institued at some later time, rather than by the prosecutor simply Nolle Prossing it.It is an order issued by a judge dismissing the charges that were brought in the case - usually for some legal insufficiency, or lack of evidence, of the case itself.There are two types of dismissal:Dismissal WITH Prejudice, and Dismissal WITHOUT Prejudice.WITHOUT Prejudice means that the charges MAY be re-instituted and brought before court again.In addition: In civil cases a party may take or request and get a voluntary dismissal of a claim (whether a plaintiff's complaint or a defendant's counterclaim, etc) if, for example, that party is not capable of proceeding with his/her case at that particular time. The claim may be reinstated or refiled at a later date, provided the statute of limitations governing that claim has not expired.
Voluntary dismissal in a civil lawsuit occurs when a plaintiff chooses to withdraw their case, often before a final judgment is made, which can be done without prejudice, allowing for the possibility of re-filing. A release of lis pendens involves formally removing a notice that indicates a pending lawsuit affecting the title to property, typically occurring after a settlement or dismissal. Co-defendants may be dismissed from the lawsuit if they are no longer part of the claims or if the plaintiff decides to pursue claims against only certain parties. These actions can simplify legal proceedings and clear any encumbrances on property titles.
